Sitting Quietly
Finally, they managed to reach their friend who was squatting down on his haunches. The man appeared to be dumbfounded. They called his name but he did not respond. Clearly, the man was in some kind of shock. Surprisingly, there was a big hole dug before him. Apparently, the man had discovered something that had sent him into a state of shock. But what was there inside the hole?
What’s Inside?
With a racing heart, they reached the hole and witnessed the unexpected. The chasm had a giant metallic body inside it. It was enormous, heavy and primitive. The object was covered with dirt and so made it impossible for them to figure out what exactly was the thing. They asked his friend if he knew what was that? The discoverer too was clueless. It is then they decided to dig further in order to get the object out.
Digging Further
The curiosity had taken the best of them. They knew they had little time in hand so they put in their best efforts to fasten the process. They made use of whatever pointy object they could get their hands on and began to excavate. Soon, the process was done. Now it did not take much time in realizing what exactly was that?
Finally!!!!!
It was a bike! Well, the finding posed more questions then it answered. Why would someone bury a bike? What was so special about this thing. The motorcycle did not look damaged at all. In fact, the vehicle was still in a good condition despite the years of hiding under the ground. Why the bike was abandoned in the middle of the jungle and by whom?
