A camping adventure

By Ishank Kumar

It was a winter evening, and four friends – Rohan, Rahul, Tina, and Ramesh – were leaving for a trip to Jim Corbett. It was about a four-hour drive. By the time they arrived, it was already nighttime. So, they decided to set up the tent in the forest.

They went to the forest to gather wood for the bonfire. After they returned with wood from the forest, they started lighting the fire. It took a little time, but eventually, they did it. Then they started roasting some fish and chicken for dinner. It was a joyful moment, so all of them started singing and dancing.

After their dinner, all of them started sharing spooky and horror stories. After an hour, they all got exhausted and went to sleep in their tents. But all of a sudden, Rohan started hearing some strange noises coming from bushes. After a few minutes, it got louder, and he couldn’t sleep because of all the noise. So, he woke up Rahul, and both of them went to see what was behind the bushes making all that noise. The moment Rahul went to see what was behind the bushes, a lion roared and leaped out of the bushes, making Rohan fall on Rahul, and both of them started screaming. Listening to the screams, Tina and Ramesh woke up. When they saw what was going on, they quickly picked up both Rahul and Rohan, and all of them started running away from the lion with their stuff.

At that time, Ramesh somehow managed to pick up the leftovers from their dinner and threw them in another direction, leading the lion in that direction. Then all of them quickly ran out of the forest to their car. They all sat in the car and drove to their homes safely.

Moral: We should keep calm and think wisely in adverse situations.
