It's too dark

Last night, I couldn’t sleep. I kept thinking about how to get into the sewers. It was pouring rain, so I put out a bowl to catch it – we always need water. But then, I thought, where does all the other rain go?
 
I had to find out. So, even though I really didn’t want to get wet, I stepped outside. In no time, I was soaked through, but I followed a stream on the street. It led to a small hole. Too small for me, but maybe not for Dunkin. He could get in and find a way in big enough for me.
 
After I got back and tried to sleep again, the morning came too quick. My clothes were still kind of wet when I put them on. Brrr. I explained to Dunkin what I wanted him to do, and we hugged – he's the best.
 
He went into the hole like a little hero, and I went to the market to wait. He came back so fast! I followed him to an old, dark building. In the basement, there was a big hole – big enough for me!
 
But inside, it was so dark. Like, the dark kind of dark where you can't see anything at all. I tried to go in, but I couldn't see a thing without the light. Dunkin was fine – he's got super eyes, I think – but I just couldn’t do it. It was scary and smelled awful.
 
So, now I’m back where I started. No closer to the farm. No closer to the sword and dagger. And I feel stuck. Dunkin did great, but I need to see where I’m going. It’s no use – I can't find the way out if I can't see my hand in front of my face.
