Jane and I had been waking in the mountains when we noticed some dark clouds coming down the mountain. We decided to turn around and go home. As we walked the clouds got nearer and nearer and the day grew darker. Then all of a sudden it began to snow. It was soon snowing so hard we couldn’t see very far in front of us.

Name
The experienced members of our group went immediately to the edge of the crater. I was so anxious and couldn’t move at first. After a while I forced myself to join the others. Then I got the courage to bend over the boiling lava and collect a sample.
Holding each others’ hands so we couldn’t get separated, we continued down the mountain. But the snow got deeper and deeper. Walking became harder and harder. We began to get very tired and very frightened. After a while the path became buried under the snow and we didn’t know which way to go.
