tunnels

Will went to work with two other boys and the scar man pulled up a ring in the floor and they went through a hole that appeared. He tied ropes to them that were attached to each other. They walked for a while and then he told them to dig and he also handed will a weird pickax with a scoop and one side. They dug and dug and dug until one of the kids dug so deep that he fell in the water in his hole. The scar faced man tugged and tugged and finally he climbed out. After that kid will fell in and was confused for about 10 minutes. Finally he came out and after 7 hours he said they were done and will went home. On the way home he noticed the store owner of the grocery store selling fruit and after that he wondered how many more people know about the colony?
