Jack was skiing(滑雪) with his family when he fell over and lost one of his skis(滑雪板). His family didn’t know that he had a problem, so they kept on skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Jack.
Jack couldn’t find his ski anywhere, so he decided to walk down the mountain. But he couldn’t work out the right way to go.
It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jack kept calm. At home, Jack watched a lot of programmes about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programmes and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldn’t blow into it. Outside his hole, the temperature fell to a dangerous -15℃ that night, but inside it Jack was safe from the cold.
The TV programmes always said, “If you are lost, you should find someone else’s tracks(足迹) through the snow and follow them.” So the next day, he found some ski tracks and followed them to get down the mountain. He walked and walked and finally he found a team of people who came to save him. He was safe!
Amazingly, Jake didn’t even have to go to hospital. So, the next time someone says that watching TV is a waste of time, think of Jake. Sometimes TV can save your life!
