Nevertheless great company kept me alive. Just as we were contently exchanging thoughts, a loud sound was heard from the near distant. My curiosity grew by a mile and I wanted to investigate. Before I could put my footsteps forward, a stern loud voice shouted, &#8220;Run, run, just run ! &#8221; Fear for my life, I ran as fast as I could. Passing another fellow trekker, busy peeling leeches of his shoes, he too was shocked. Without a word, he joined our marathon for life. Finally, after a sprint of 200m, we slowed down. Gasping for air, standing feeling ridicule, the four of us looked at each other, we started laughing. &#8220;Why did we run?&#8221; I asked naively. Confidently, I heard an answer, &#8220;I think that was an animal in rage. Could have been a tiger or an elephant or a wild boar. Whatever that was, it wasn&#8217;t a good idea to stay around and find out. Somewhat disappointed the three of us nodded in agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing our journey, we endlessly reminisce the run, teasing each other, the walk became part of us.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_M3iNL0ShtgM\/RzCOV1CAyDI\/AAAAAAAAAlA\/NR74AokKBAE\/s1600-h\/buta.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_M3iNL0ShtgM\/RzCOV1CAyDI\/AAAAAAAAAlA\/NR74AokKBAE\/s320\/buta.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129756481238911026\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>Finally, in near sight, we arrived at Buta Caves, Blind Cave.
