I’ll tell you a story about our outing which, to my mind, was not well prepared. But everything ended well and it was very funny in the long run.
Our class decided to go on hiking trip to the lake. It’s about 30 kilometres from our town. Of course, our route through the woods and hills had been carefully marked on the maps long before. So we started on Sunday in the afternoon right after classes. First, everything went off without a hitch. But then…
To begin with, one of our boys fell behind and finally got lost in the wood. It took us almost three hours to find him. It turned out that he had lost his rucksack full of the sugar for the whole group. We couldn’t find it either.
Then Ann, our photographer, climbed a high rock to take a group picture. She slipped on a wet leaf and had a bad fall, hurting another girl’s arm and breaking the camera.
All of a sudden it began to rain. It was a shower. We had to put up our tents and shelter in them. We sat in them till it became dark. Soon we grew hungry and cold. When we started to make a fire it turned out that the boy who was responsible for it had forgotten to take matches. “It just slipped my mind”, he said smiling. Some of us got very angry with him.
On the next morning …
In the long run – в конечном счете
Route – маршрут
Without a hitch – без сучка и задоринки
