Texto para mineração e treinamento: Mrs. Jenson ran to the camper and returned with the stuffed animal Zack cuddled in his sleep and the blanket that William slept with. "That'll be perfect," said Chuck, holding the items out to Rufus. "Rufus - Find!" In their backpacks, William and Zack both had an almost full water bottle, two granola bars, and a few packets of snack crackers. Zack had a small flashlight in his bag, and William had a book he'd been reading. As night fell, instead of looking for the campsite, William began looking for shelter. He told his little brother what to look for, as well. They found a place where a tree with a huge trunk had fallen and become embedded into a hill. The trunk and hillside formed something like a cave. The boys cleared the ground and snuggled back into the cave for the night. William explained to Zack that they shouldn't eat all their food and drink all their water. They should ration these items in case it took more than one night for their parents to find them.
