Iva remembered where she wandered from. When others noticed that she didn’t come back they were very scared. Iva started crying and Juna was really worried. Then Nace and Tine stayed in the place where they were sleeping and build a shelter while Juna and Nace went to search for Dora. But it was getting dark and they still haven’t found her, so they returned back again and decided to go search for her again in the morning.

They lighted a fire in hope she could find them by the smoke. Meanwhile Dora found a river but she wasn’t really sure if she should follow it because it was dark and a lot of dangerous animals were awake. She built a small shelter out of leaves and sticks. She almost fell asleep when she heard something. Her heart stopped. It was a bear who must was searching for food. She remained calm on the outside but inside she was panicking. She slowly went to grab her rucksack in case the bear would notice her. He was there for a while but then he got bored and went away. Dora then fell asleep.

When she woke up she wanted to follow the river but then she heard Juna screaming her name and saw a smoke. She quickly ran that way and was shouting back and trying to signalize her location with a mirror by pointing to the sun. They finally found each other and went back. Then they agreed that they were all responsible for not bringing a tent. They sat by the fire and talked.

After a week they happily returned home.
