The abandoned mine is located in a field with a few trees. It is unable to be seen from far away. The closer you get the more you  notice the ground caving in around the hole. When you peer down into the mine, you see crumbling walls and concrete and a hole so deep you can't see where it ends.

I have five sisters. I'm the only boy in the family. I like to wrestle and play rough games, but my sisters often don't want to play with me. I often wish there was another boy in the family to play with. I spend a lot of time with my father, learning his trade and going hunting with him.
It would be quite dangerous, as this mine is abandoned and crumbling.  But there are few trees to hide us. Where will we take refuge from the beasties? Might make more sense to climb a large tree and sleep up there. Yes, but I'm a horrible climber. Can you climb up and then lower that rope down to me? I think I could shimmy up it if you could secure it to the tree. I suppose, but how do I know that I can trust you? I've never seen you around here before. I am but a traveler, but we are both together in the midst of this field with a caving in mine and nothing else in site. What can we rely on if not each other? That is fair, I will go against my better judgement and trust you. Thank you. Now take this rope and climb the tree. Once you get high enough, tie it around a sturdy branch and I'll climb up. Okay, I'll start now. Here- take this knife. You may need it. And it's a sign of good faith that I trust you. That definitely helps me be a bit more at ease. Now throw down the rope! I want to get up before nightfall. I think I hear some beasties lurking.
