Danny: We’ve got to find a way to see in!
Let’s go this way.
Brad: The guards are everywhere.
Danny: If only they would move somewhere else.
Brad: That’s it!
Danny: What?
Brad: We could make a noise back near the gate.
Brad: Maybe the guards will run to see what it is.
Danny: Great idea. One of us could throw a pebble.
Brad: All the pebbles are bigger than us.
But this grain of sand should work.
Brad: Who has the strongest arm?
Danny: Tina.
Brad: Well, she’s not here.
Danny: I know. We’ll have to throw it together.
Brad: Teamwork always works for us.
Brad: One, two . . .
Danny: Three!
Mite 1: Hey! Did you hear that?
Mite 2: We should check it out!
Mite 1: Get the other guards!
Brad: Perfect! Let’s go!
It won’t be long before the guards come back.
Danny: I see some bottle caps.
Maybe we could stack them.
Brad: It’s worth a try.
Brad: This isn’t going to work.
Danny: Hey, there’s a straw over there.
Brad: How big?
Danny: It’s a regular-size straw. It’s big!
Brad: Geez, I never thought a straw could look so big!
Danny: It’s long enough to reach the top of the wall.
Brad: Do you think we can lift it?
Danny: That’s the great thing about straws: they’re light.
Brad: Careful, careful.
Brad: Okay, now turn it.
Danny: There, we did it!
Brad: Okay, I’m going to climb up.
Danny: You? But you’re not good at climbing!
Brad: You just hold it steady.
Danny: Are you sure?
It looks very slippery.
Brad: If Tina were here, she would climb it.
But it’s just you and me.
Danny: Okay. Give it a try.
Danny: Careful!
Brad: I’m okay.
Danny: What do you see?
Brad: There are several towers and lots of mites!
Danny: Any sign of Chuck and Dave?
Brad: I’m looking . . .
Brad: Oh no!
Danny: What?
Brad: They’re in a prison.
We’ll never get them out!
