B
When Allen invited me on a camping trip to the mountains, 1 imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot cocoa, and soft beds. But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled
with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles, we were going on survival training!
The evcr-efYicicnt Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains emed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more tlircatening.
Al the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we t off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.
After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, 1 dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. *'Wc need to t up camp quickly," said Leo." There are dark clouds coming in. A storms on its way."
1 thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite rious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.
Leo, nsing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, 1 jumped. "Don't worry. Summer storms pass quickly," Leo said trying to comfort me. "And at least the rain will keep the bears away," he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.
And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it pasd, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible — I could e for miles. As darkness t in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky.
nvI won't lie — I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as i gazed upward at the Milky Way, 1 knew this was an adventure I would never forget.
24. Why was the author surprid when Allen came to get him at the beginning of the story?
