Then, we continued our journey until we came to a hole that looked like a fireplace.  The top was narrow and the bottom was wide, and there was fire at the bottom of the place.  It turned out that inside the hole there were naked men and women.  Flames burned from the bottom.  Every time the flames rose, the people rose almost out of the hole.  And when the fire went out they returned to the place they were before.  Seeing this, I again asked, "What does it all mean? The two men said," Just continue your journey! "

We continued our journey until we came to a river with blood flowing in it. In the river there was a man who was standing and another man who was holding a stone. Whenever the man who was in the river was about to get out of the river, the man who was holding the stone threw the stone into his mouth, until the man returned to the former place.  I again asked, "What does that mean?" The two men said, " Just continue your journey."
