13. Use the words provided after the passage to complete: LEISURE

Before our first trip, the leader of the camp gave us a brief talk. ‘If anything alarming happens, ‘he said, ‘don’t, on any account, run away. There is a man with a gun to defend us and you just need to do exactly what I say.’ We kept his advice in mind in our expeditions. One night there was a wonderful howling and screaming of hyenas, followed by a great roaring of lions. In the morning we saw a group of vultures less than a mile away, and our leader thought that we should investigate in case they were gathering over a dead body. We set out and, before going very far, we found the body of a buffalo which had obviously been killed the night before . Our leader, who was interested in the lions, said the lion must still be very near, because the vultures were waiting in the nearby trees, and not eating the body. He was soon proved right: we just managed to catch sight of a golden back disappearing behind some bushes. Most of our walking was less alarming than this. We walked all day and, when 20) we wanted, we drove by night with a spotlight. Vocabulary bank: body
