The glowing lantern meant someone was close. We killed our lights and listened. Footsteps shuffled deeper inside. Then a voice, weak and scared: "Hello? Is someone there? I twisted my ankle and I can't climb out." It wasn't a thief. It was someone who needed help.

We followed the weak voice and found an old man wedged in a crevice, his ankle swollen. "I came looking for the gold years ago," he said. "Don't make my mistake." We splinted his leg, helped him climb, and got him out as the sun was setting. He thanked us with tears in his eyes.
