(Suggested answer) Bob and lan slowly climbed higher and higher in the bright sunshine. It was a steep, dangerous mountain covered in snow. They were experienced climbers, but they were getting tired, so they decided to stop and rest inside a small cave.

They took off their packs and got ready to make some instant soup. lan was just about to light their small stove when they heard a rumbling noise. Suddenly, snow and ice started falling outside.

Moments later, the snow had blocked the entrance to the cave. They were trapped in the cave and they were freezing cold and very scared. Bob radioed for help.

Three hours later, their rescuers arrived. It took six hours to dig lan and Bob out of the cave. The rescue team explained that there had been a small avalanche.

After that, a helicopter took the frightened men to the Rescue Centre. "Will you give up climbing?" asked their rescuers. "No- but we won't go into any more caves," lan said.

На подобу цього придумати свою историю

The wagon train departed bright and early this morning. I was disappointed that I had to tell

my friends goodbye, but I had chosen to remain here in Denver. By that point, we had already been

traveling for several long months. I was sorry to leave St. Louis, but I heard there was gold in

California. It was June when we had first left St. Louis and it was October when we got to Denver. I

had made the difficult decision that I would not be continuing onward with the rest of the families on

the wagon train.

When we left St. Louis, we were extremely excited, because we were planning on traveling all

the way to the ocean. We would journey to California. But that was not to be for my family.

Almost immediately, we stumbled upon the first major problem of our trip. Our very first day

on the road, a wheel flew right off of our wagon. The wheel was badly cracked, which meant we

were unable to repair the damage ourselves. Since we were not terribly far from St. Louis at that

point, John rode all the way back there on his horse. He returned to the wagon train with a brand

new wheel; however, that took nearly an entire day while the other families waited.

After that, we struggled with yet another problem. There was an awful rainstorm, and with it

came so much mud that the oxen pulling our wagons were unable to get the wagons moving again.

We had to wait for the rain to stop completely and for the mud to dry before we could continue

onward. Because of this, we lost an additional two days.

We were unbelievably exhausted and it had been a mere two weeks, but we kept on traveling.

Unfortunately, we then had to stop once more because the Brown family fell ill. We waited a few

days for them to recover, but they eventually gave up and turned back.

Every single day, we faced very difficult work, but we still persevered. Nevertheless, by the

time we arrived in Denver it was just too much to handle. We had decided then that we were going

to leave the wagon train. That night, we informed the wagon master of our plans.

The wagon master asked us to change our minds, and told us, “We’ve overcome the worst,

now.” However, I knew our trip would certainly not be getting any easier. The mountains we had

just crossed were only the beginning. It had already been such hard work to get where we were now,

and I knew it would be even more difficult to reach the ocean in California. That is when we decided

the best option was to remain here in Denver.

Today, I have gone off to hunt for a new job. There are several jobs in the mines, and I hope to

fill one of the positions. Then, we will be able to get our own home. I am extremely thankful that

living in a tent beside the covered wagon is over. Instead, we will have a permanent place where we

can live.

Although I will greatly miss my friends, I will not miss all the troubles and hardships we

endured. I wrote a letter to a friend I made on the trip. I wanted him to know we are doing well

although I miss him.
