Parable 81 - Parables of Steel by Robert Dean Steel

   The group of boys had just arrived at their destination.  It was a natural rock formation on the top of a hill.  In the rock formation were a series of small caves.  The boys were exploring the caves when one of the boys saw an approaching summer storm.  One boy said, "Let us take shelter in one of the caves until the storm passes."  All agreed except for one boy who said, "I saw better shelter in an abandon house just down the road."  As they were pondering their next move the storm hit.  The one who made the suggestion made a run for the house.  The others followed but they did not even make it done the hill when the hail and rain cause them to separate.  They were pelted by hail and soon in the open they were soaked to the skin.  The boy who made the suggestion hid under an abandon piece of machinery till the storm subsided.  He then ran to  a local farm where he got help.  Not long afterward the other boys were located and they were transported back to town where they got dry and warmed up.  The boy who made the suggestion apologized to his friends for putting them through the whole ordeal and he learn a valuable lesson.  When faced with an obvious storm find shelter and do not venture out because you could endanger yourself and others.
