Astra Suspended
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 58083
|
The moon had risen and gave a little light, but even so searching the
woods for Astra was not easy. In fact in the end it was not Fred who
spotted Astra, but she who spotted him.
"Fred!" he heard her call. He looked round, but could see no sign of her. "Up here!" she called. Looking up he saw a startling sight. Astra was tied by a thick rope round her left ankle to the overhanging branch of a tree. Her head, the lowest part of her, was about ten feet off the ground. She was spinning round slowly, first one way and then the other. The rope was about six feet long, making the branch some twenty-two feet above the ground. "What happened to you!?" Fred asked. "We've no time for that now. Get me down before they come back." "How? Even if I can manage to climb the tree and cut the rope, you're going to fall ten feet head-first. That might well crack your skull or break your neck."
