In my early 20s, after a year and a half in England, and four months in France, I
1_________to the United States and got a job at a camp in northern Virginia. My teammate that
summer was Dan from Mississippi, and I am from Rhode Island. We worked together with a group
of boys from 12 to 14 years old. I've always been a bit untidy, but Dan was 2________ and clean,

got on because we shared the same 3__________of humor.

been back. Dan hurt his right foot 5________. So we had to spend the night in the cave. Food and
water were not a problem, but we turned off our lights to save power. In the distance, we could hear
the sound of running water. To 6________ the time, we told stories. That night in the cave we

not alone–the cave, the blue light and the flowing water released stories and memories that we had
never revealed to anyone. It was as if a river of stories had started flowing in each of us. When the
rangers came the next morning, we didn’t want to 7_________. "Can't we just tell a few more
stories?" In the cave, that night, I became a storyteller.
