Question

There was no moonlight that night and the deathly stillness of the surrounding
jungle was broken only occasionally by the shrill cry of a cicada. Sometimes
from far off came the hollow hammering of a woodpecker, carried along on
the faint breeze. Or the grunt of a wild boar could be heard as he dug up a
favourite root. But these sounds were rare and the silence of the forest always
returned to swallow them up.
