Last summer, Mike went to explore a deep canyon alone. He loved nature, but he knew the rules: never go too far without a map. However, the beautiful scenery made him 1 his plan. He walked deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, the sky turned dark. A strong storm was coming. Mike felt 2 and started to run back. But the rain made the rocks slippery. He slipped and fell into a small hole. His leg hurt badly, and he couldn't stand up.
Fear 3 him. He was alone, injured, and the storm was getting worse. He shouted for help, but only the wind 4. Just when he thought all hope was lost, he saw a light in the distance. It was a rescue team! They had been 5 for hikers who got lost in the storm.
The team leader, Mr Green, quickly checked Mike's leg. "Don't worry, we will get you out," he said calmly. They used a special rope to 6 Mike up from the hole. It was hard work because of the strong wind and heavy rain.
During the climb, Mike asked, "How did you find me so 7?"
Mr Green smiled, "We always 8 the weather forecast. When the storm came, we knew someone might be in 9. So we started searching immediately."
Finally, they reached the top. Mike was safe. He looked back at the dark canyon and felt a sense of 10. He learned a hard lesson that day: nature is beautiful, but it can also be 11. We must respect it and always be 12.
Before leaving, Mike thanked the team again. "You are my 13," he said.
"No," Mr Green shook his head. "You saved yourself by staying calm and shouting. We just gave you a(n) 14."
This experience changed Mike. He never went hiking alone again. He realized that being brave doesn't mean taking 15 risks; it means knowing when to ask for help.
