I couldn't just stand there not doing anything so I ran into the wide part and up the side where it was easy to go up. I guess maybe I was kind of kidding myself that I could do something up there. I guess I didn't want to see Pee-wee come falling down. If I could have helped I would have stayed there. But as long as I wasn't doing anything I couldn't keep still.
Up on the edge of the precipice there was only just that one grown up fellow kneeling down and looking over. I had never been up to that place before. Up there it didn't look like a chasm, it was just a wide gap -- you'd call it a cleft I guess.
