Listen and read along to these sentences.
These stalactites were formed over thousands of years. Please don't try to touch them. They're very delicate and we work hard to preserve the natural integrity of this cave.
How far back does this cave go? Are you ever worried that you're going to get lost in this cave, or that the top of the cave is going to collapse? It's so dark and creepy in here!
One of the great things about this cave is that it's home to a few species of endangered bats. They like to roost here so we're careful not to disturb their homes during our tours.
I've never seen a cave so big and impressive. It's like it goes on forever! I wonder how many years it took these stalagmites to grow into these formations.
