If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house---cover up the hole with branches with lots of leaves. Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.

When you need some water, you have to leave your little branches house to look for a stream. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk in order to find the way back.
