Alex and his school mates were on a trekking trip to the mountains. On the first day, the excited children had their breakfast and left for their trek with Sam, the camp organiser. It was a clear and beautiful day, but slowly clouds started rolling in. Sam looked worried. Suddenly, they all heard a loud clap of thunder and saw lightning in the sky. Sam and the children turned back towards the camp. However, they were caught in a hailstorm. Visibility was so poor that Alex and five of his friends were separated from the main group. Lost in the mountains, some of the children started crying. Alex was scared too but was not ready to give up. He found a small cave and took all his friends there. When it stopped raining, they started walking. Just then, they met Sam who was looking for them. Overjoyed, they all hugged Sam.
