Hello my name is Laszlo. We are going in this cave which is under the hill and I will teach you about caving. As you go in head first you will put your hands on the walls and then you will swing yourself and slide on your bottom with feet first because behind this hall there is a steep part so you will slide on your bottom by feet first. As you are coming in just please stay on your right side, keep down your head because of your hammer, and just put up your hand so you will grab the edge of this rock and pull yourself out. Even if it looks wide, just go on your side and it is better to go on your right side. Don't slide too fast because on the bottom there are some rocks which makes you surprised. It is very tricky. Before you go in a cave don't go alone and don't go without any guide. It is very important. It is dangerous.
