“Not for me” said Peter; “I’m going to explore in the house.” Everyone agreed to this and that was how the adventures began. It was the sort of house that you never seem to come to the end of, and it was full of unexpected places. The first few doors they tried led only into spare bedrooms, as everyone had expected that they would; but soon they came to a very long room full of pictures and there they found a suit of armour. – The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C. S. Lewis Which statement best shows the theme of this passage? It is foolish to have a sense of exploration. Exploring is silly because it is easy to get lost. Situations that seem boring can sometimes lead to excitement. It is wise to map out a course before setting out on a long adventure.
