Read together

Once upon a time, there was a conquistador named Juan. He discovered a ruin in the middle of a jungle, surrounded by a Ring of Fire. The ruin had an aqueduct and an ancient mural on its walls. Juan was fascinated by the indigenous people who lived near the basin. But one day, while exploring the aqueduct, Juan slipped and fell into the basin. Suddenly, he heard a loud rumbling noise and realized that the Ring of Fire was actually a volcano! Juan ran as fast as he could back to his ship and never went back to the ruin again. From then on, he made sure to always check for active volcanoes before exploring ruins. The end.
