Fortunately, Xepshunall always carries a large spool from an old girlfriend who used to darn his stockings and 4 small nails left over from the last ship he had built. Xepshunall propped the injured Captain Blue up against the wall of the pit. He tapped the nails into one end the spool and spun some cotton into a makeshift rope that he used to lasso a boulder that, thankfully, held firm until Xepshunall was clear of the pit. That wasn't as fun as it could have been. Unlike Captain Blue, he meant it when he said, in a low Austrian accent, "I'll be back". Whether Xepshunall intended a rescue wasn't made clear. Xepshunall went home to contemplate the worth of this isolated hill and a less tempting plan.
Yesterday I gave my all. Today I'll give more. Tomorrow, I'll take back what you took for granted.
