The natural passageway at the bottom of the hole narrowed and twisted until it became rather awkward for Asanka to push through but already he could see a glimmer of light ahead which suggested that it was not very long. In a few moments the boy broke though onto a rock ledge over looking the gorge. He had reached a kind of linear cave following a fault line in the rock and there in front of him was an assemblage of twigs and grasses cradling three giant eggs. A faint cry disturbed him as he was studying the nest and he looked up. In the blue sky over the far downs an alegoyle was calling on its way back to the roost! Asanka wasted no time on further introspection. Swiftly grabbing one of the eggs as a trophy he scrambled back down the tunnel.
