“Now children, please don’t squabble,” said Mr Weakly. “I’m sure the path isn’t far. Let’s just keep moving.”

He set off, plunging deeper into the wood.

They walked and walked until finally they reached a fallen tree by a shallow stream.

Angela threw up her hands in despair. “Weren’t we here hours ago?” she asked.

“Were we? I don’t know,” said Mr Weakly. He leaned against a tree and loosened his tie. He felt hot. The main thing was not to panic, he repeated to himself – or at least not to show his panic. They’d been gone almost two hours. Pretty soon it would be home time and parents would arrive to collect their children. Surely someone must have noticed they were missing by now?

Angela was staring at a tree. “Is that one an oak tree?” she asked.

“What? Yes – an oak tree,” said Mr Weakly.

“It’d be a good one to climb,” said Angela.

Mr Weakly sighed wearily. “We don’t have time for climbing trees,” he said.

“But if you climbed up really high, you’d be able to see,” said Angela. “You could see right over the wood.”

Mr Weakly blinked. Of course – climb a tree! Why hadn’t he thought of that before? All they needed was someone who was good at that sort of thing. But who?

“I’m not climbing up there,” said Tiffany.

“Nor me,” said Laura. “It’s dangerous.”

“I’m a good climber,” said Angela. “I can hang upside down by my feet.”

Mr Weakly shook his head. They were already lost and he didn’t want to risk someone falling out of a tree.

“No, if anyone is climbing trees it will be me,” he said, bravely. “Hold my jacket and phone, Angela.”

He stripped off his jacket and tie. He hadn’t climbed a tree since he was eight or nine.
