Angela and Emma stood blow the Bear Crawl，the summer camp's highest，hardest rope course. They watched the rope ladder，with its wooden rungs and rope sides，sway(摇摆) in the wind between two tall pines.
Angela felt very 1 ，but she could breathe again to hear Emma volunteer to go first. Hands before feet，Emma began her frightening crawl across the rope ladder.
"Go，Emma，go! You're a champion. You've got this!" Angela cheered from below. When Emma made it all the way across， 2 the challenge，Angela felt relieved for her friend but also nervous：it was her 3 now. After checking Angela's helmet and harness，the coach lifted her up to the platform.
Angela reached her arms out to the first rung on the rope ladder. Her arms felt shaky as she felt the ladder turn left or right under her weight. She carefully carried her hands 4 to the next rung. About halfway across the Bear Crawl，Angela was starting to feel a little more 5 . With every rung，she was getting closer to the opposite platform. She could do this!
Suddenly a stronger wind made the rope ladder sway. Angela's hand did not hold the wood rung. Instead，her body fell downward. Almost immediately，the harness 6 her.
Angela was lowered to the ground slowly. She saw the other kids looking at her，her face turned red.
"Can I try again?" Angela whispered，trying to hold back tears.
The coach looked at his watch. "I'm sorry，Angela，we don't have time."
On the bus home，Angela leaned her head against the window. Beside her，Emma remained 7 . "Hey Angela?" She broke the silence. "I couldn't 8 without you. I got so frightened in the middle，but then you shouted my name and I kept going."
"You got scared?" Angela asked.
Emma nodded and said softly，"Super scared. I'm still feeling 9 I didn't faint(昏倒) or throw up on everybody below. You were just unlucky that such a big wind came up. I thought all the trees were going to fall over and squish us like pancakes."
Angela smiled. She knew her friend was trying to cheer her up. Suddenly，falling off the rope ladder did not seem so important any more. Having good 10 was more important.
