book

In 1869, two brothers, Caleb and Benjamin, go into the woods, start digging, and
bury a box. Benjamin asks what would happen if someone found it. Caleb replies,
"May god have mercy on his soul."
In 1969 a 12-year-old boy named Alan
Parrish is drawn to a strange sound of drumbeats outside his father's shoe
factory in a construction site, which lead him to a locked trunk containing a
mysterious board game within, called Jumanji.
That night he and his friend
Sarah Whittle play the Jumanji game. The instructions read: "Jumanji. A game for
those who seek to find: a way to leave their world behind. You roll the dice to
move your token, doubles get another turn. The first player to reach the end
wins." The tokens move by themselves and writing appears in the black sphere in
the game's centre. She reads the riddle and strange squeaking comes from the
fireplace. On Alan's turn, the riddle reads: "In the jungle you must wait till
the dice read five or eight". Before Sarah's eyes, Alan has disappeared,
literally sucked into the game and she is chased out of the house screaming,
scared out of her wits, by a flock of bats that flew out of the fireplace.

I read "JUMANJI". This is very good!! It is very excited reading. This story became movie. But I have never watched it. Book is fun. But book is a little short story. So I want to watch movie.
