 The Catacombs

    Imagine the darkest room you¡¯ve ever seen. Now put skulls and bones in every corner, doorway,


    and inch of the walls. This is what Eulalia saw. She had dropped her dolly down in the small


    door and when it stopped rolling, she had gone so far in the cavern that it had begun hard to see


    the walls of the room. She picked it up and glanced around. She had gotten curious looking at the


    many tunnels ahead of her and decided to look. She thought to herself. ¡°An adventure sounds


    like fun.¡± There was a little dog skull at the top of the doorway and a trail of bones leading


    farther down the passage. She walked down the corridor, all the while, it was getting darker, she

    find her. What are these funny pictures mister?¡± she asked the man. He didn¡¯t answer. He picked
