Close To The Edge (Animation And Summary)

Opal and her mother are walking along a long dusty track on the side of a cliff hoping to find a new home. They are starving and thirsty. Suddenly they see a town on fire and smoke rising into the sky! As they keep walking down the track Opal sees a crack in the mountain and looks at it. Her mother has already moved on down the track. She can just fit through it so she walks through the crack into a cave. She keeps walking and steps in something. Something wet. Something that wraps around her ankles. And she knows exactly what it is.
