Section 4
As he turned around, he saw James running towards "base" and darted after him. Just before
he touched James' shoulder, James tagged the "base" and yelled out "SAFE!" "Did you get Sally yet?" James asked. "No," said Mark.
"I haven't been able to find her and it's getting late and we need to be heading home."
So both boys yelled out "Come on out Sally, it's late." Â But there was no reply.
Not even a little snicker from somewhere in the darkness.
They yelled again. "Come on out Sally, it's late."
Still there was no reply from Sally.
They began to worry and started searching for her.Â
