Answer 1

We thought that we were on the right path when suddenly we runed into a very familiar rock and realised that we walked in circles for quite a long time. We were totally lost, and the fact that we had finished our water provisions wasn't very promising. We decided to go uphill because according to John, it would be easier to spot a way out from an elevated point. He learnt that from a documentary he saw about survival. But what the documentary had not taught John was that maybe it’s not such a good idea to go up a mountain when you are exhausted and waterless.We treked one mile when we started to have a horrible feeling that that might be our last trek. Of course, we had  said anything, but we could see in each other’s eyes that at that precise moment we thought precisely the same. We couldn't walk any longer, so we decided to sit and rest, quietly, because neither of us wanted to share any of our gloomy thoughts."Hello, can I help you?" we suddenly heard. We had raised our heads and saw a little man with slanted eyes and a childish grin. He stood right next to us. I wondered where he came from and how long he stood  there. But it didn't matter really, because we were safe.
