The boys quickly ran to it and looked in, but they couldn't see anything because it was very dark. Harry said, 'It looks big inside. Come on! I'll go First.'   Harry and Robert were playing inside the cave when suddenly Robert said, 'Oh no! I can hear the sea! It's coming into the cave.' They were very afraid, but then Harry felt something wet on his hand. It was a dog's nose! The dog was very clever. It showed the boys another way out of the cave and back to the beach.   When they told their grandmother about the dog, she gave him three biscuits and said, Well done!'   `We're hungry too!' the boys said.
