The duo stumbled upon a souvenir shop decorated with traditional artifacts and had lunch with George - the outgoing owner of the shop. George was a former woodcutter, who switched to his current profession due to want of income. George told them that aside from trade, the Cherokee earn extra money through small businesses during the tourist season. Finally, they saw some historic articles in a local museum. On his return, the author longed for the place and hoped for a new adventure.

In précis narration is changed. The whole paragraph is changed from direct to indirect. If there is past simple tense, then it's changed to past perfect.

Wish you all the best
