The pilot entered the tunnel with his companions and the two girls. The tunnel was as bright as the midday sun. Everyone was astonished and said: "We passed through the dark, and now we are walking as if the sun were above us."
Since the lamps were still on, the pilot asked the guards to extinguish the palace lamps they carried in their hands.
The guards turned off the lights, laughing: "It's still bright. How did you know that?"
The pilot, Shnemo, took a flashlight and told one of the guards: "Open your mouth." He then asked the others: "Has his palate turned red in color?"
The guard opened his mouth, and the pilot shone the flashlight inside, saying: "Wow, the mouth resembles the tunnel we were in at the beginning. At the end, it's dark — even the flashlight cannot light that tunnel."
Kasha laughed and said: "His mouth is red like a tomato. I miss tasting one."
Amini giggled and told her: "Sister, there's one in the food box. Come, take it and taste it."
The guards clapped for their captain, saying: "Yes, we will turn them off."
Then they asked the commander: "What do you mean by your words about the mouth tunnel?"
The pilot replied: "The tunnel is lit now, but I think it will eventually become dark again."
The guards threw aside the lamps, saluted him, and said: "A good ending may come, for voices may shine brightly, but inside there is darkness. We must be careful."
The pilot returned the salute and told them: "You have been promoted to a higher rank. That is an excellent conclusion. Let's move on."
