Hi there. Would you please proofread the following text? Any help would be appreciated.
*************************************************************************
The new passageway snaked downward for about ten metres and then opened out into a chamber that glistened with moisture under the light of the torches. Over time the water that had created the caves had diminished and moved its course and volume changing ever so slowly over many millennia.
Gan and Lili held their torches high so as to get a better look at the cave. The light of the torches revealed stalactites and stalagmites, stone surfaces that were stained by various mineral impurities, mostly browns and yellows, but in some places, there were reds, blues, and greens. Puddles both large and small dotted the floor, but none were more than a few centimetres deep.
Lili commented. “It’s beautiful. I have never seen beauty like this before, it’s simply magical.” Lili had become entranced by what she saw, but it was broken by the sound of Gan jumping in puddles like a child. “What are you doing?”
Gan stopped, smiled, and chuckled. “I’m testing the fun factor for Lanhua and the other kids, they’re going to love this place, but we have to know it is safe.”
Lili rolled her eyes. “You’re such a big kid, Gan.”
