The Cabin Adventure (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:40s
One sunny day, Lily and Sam decided to explore the forest. They brought a basket to fill with berries and a camera to film their adventure. While wandering, they stumbled upon an old abandoned cabin. Curiosity sparked. They entered cautiously, only to find it filled with antique furniture in fine condition. Suddenly, they smelled smoke and saw flames flickering from the kitchen. They knew they had to flee and find help fast. Running outside, they spotted a firm looking man fishing by the nearby stream. Lily waved a red flag to catch his attention, and he rushed over to help put out the fire. Afterward, they all sat on a flat rock, relieved and grateful.
