Tom had nothing to say he was just amazed by all the things. Now after this, Tom and Tommy’s enthusiasm amazed the tribals so they gifted Tom the red-armed seashell
necklace and Tommy the white armed seashell necklace. Tom loved the gift and Tommy started jumping after wearing the necklace on his neck, which proved that he was
extremely happy with its gift. Then Tom was about to ask for a boat when he saw that the boat was ready. He was very surprised to find it. The tribals said “we already heard
about the fact that your boat had started malfunctioning and that’s why you and Tommy are here. So, we fixed a boat. Thankfully, one of our boys learnt to repair the boat
from the city.”

Tom had nothing to say except “thank you”. Then Tom said that you people are so kind and friendly and we enjoyed the time we spent with you. Then Tom said a tearful
goodbye to them and started his journey back home.

The journey - back home

Now Tom and Tommy started their journey back home. After sailing the boat for a long period, they decided to take rest for a while. Therefore, Tom started to look for a small
island. Finally, he found one after an hour.

Then they anchored their boat in the island and as usual started exploring the island. As they went inside, they saw a beautiful painting labeled as the cave paintings of France.
They were shocked about the fact that they were in France now! Tom knew a lot about this painting and it was his dream to visit the cave paintings of France, which was,
surprisingly, discovered by four teenagers. Tom took many pictures of the beautiful cave painting and started analyzing it. Finally, he concluded that these are cave paintings
which actually meant “to go hunting”. He heard about this from his mother. As people did not have the languages to communicate in the past, they used to communicate by
preparing a sketch of whatever they wanted to say.

Tom and Tommy rested for a day in the cave. The next morning when they were about to go Tom saw that Tommy was drawing a picture on one of the rocks of the cave and
Tom immediately understood what Tommy meant. Tommy wanted to say that “let’s go and have some apples as I am feeling hungry,” Tom replied “sure Tommy I am feeling
hungry too”.

Just when they were looking for an apple tree, he heard a loud voice calling his name from a distance. A fraction of a second and he understood it was his mom calling for
dinner from downstairs!! He took few seconds to understand he fell asleep while studying his history vacation work in the evening!! And now it’s dinner time. But he thought what
a nice dream it was!!

In the dinner table, he shared his experience with his dad and mom. To his utter astonishment, his father said everything that he saw in the dream exists in reality. Tom got
confused. Was it a dream or a teleportation that his science teacher was talking about the other day? He could still feel the taste of the food he had. Or what about the fishing
that he and Tommy did? It seemed so real! Strange, very very strange!

His mom and dad assured to take him one of the cave painting the next weekend. Tom was wondering if he could still find the same images there. If so, then he must have
been there!

The wait begins for the next adventure from Tom and Tommy.
