We sat down and ate our sandwiches around it.

In the cave, the flames ______ light onto its ceiling.“Funny,”said my brother, “You can see shapes on the rock. One of them looks a bit like a deer. There is its head and there are its feet. It almost looks as if someone has ______ it.”I took a burning branch(树枝)and went to examine the rock. Now I could see a shape of a smaller deer. Then we went further into the cave. In front of us was a wall of ______. There were birds, too, with the eyes carved(雕刻)out of the rock and painted white. We could see a snake, a bear, a wolf, but no people.

At that night, my brother and I were so ______ that we did not get to sleep until very late. We talked and wondered about the people who had lived here before.
