A brave boy explores a dark cave. When he encounters the mysterious Stark, he tries to ignore it and shoo it away. But amid the wonders of the cave, the curious Stark keeps showing up, until the boy can ignore him no longer. In recounting the story of a fantastic cave creature, a father explains the features of a karst cave to his little boy. A short addendum describes and defines cave features, with photographs.
