A Personal Story

Once upon a time my friends and I went on a hike . The company consisted only of the closest people . We chose a picturesque place with a lake and a forest nearby and intended to make our hike a perfect one . We dreamt about great weather and our dreams came true

During the first day of our staying there we took much photos , gathered berries and flowers . On the second day there we decided to change the place and to put up the tents somewhere else . So we moved closer to the lake

, but chose a somewhat higher level , so that to reach the lake one should go down a path lying not far from our camping place . So the girls crawled into the tent while the guys occupied themselves with gathering twigs for a fire . I went to help them too . The girls began fooling around . As they later told us , suddenly they discovered that they moved a little bit with the tent . Then they moved more . and more . And then not just moved , but fell into the lake from a rather high and steep slope . They began screaming , crying for help , and shouting that much that we threw away the twigs and ran to them . Frightened and worried , we didn 't know what to do . Luckily enough , the trees held our tent and it stayed dry , so unlike the girls . Wet and scared , they got out of the lake and came back

That curious story didn 't end , though . When we wanted to fix the tent back , we noticed a nest of snakes covered with leaves on the ex-place of tent . I can hardly call us surprised in that situation . Thanking our destiny for helping us out , we moved to a more secure place . Carefully examined it , we put up there

I guess I can call that hike the most unforgettable thing in my life . I could never imagine that anything of the kind would happen to me...
