When Allen invited me to go on a camping trip to the mountains，I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake，with a warm fireplace，hot chocolate，and soft beds.But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother，Leo，showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment----tents，sleeping bags，and water bottles.We were going on survival training!
   Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry.Several hours later，as we drove through the forest，the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered；the trees were larger，and the environment felt more threatening.
   At the trailhead，Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules.Then，with Leo in front，we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountains.
   After 6 hours of climbing，we finally reached the top.My legs were aching and I dropped my pack and complained but there was no time to rest."We need to set up camp quickly，" said Leo. "There are dark clouds
coming in.A storm's on its way.
   I thought he was kidding，but Leo was quite serious.He and Allen worked expertly，while I stood around and pretended to help，thunder rumbling（發(fā)出隆隆聲）in the distance.We just finished putting up the tents when it hit.The wind，thunder，and lightning were relentless（持續(xù)強(qiáng)烈的）.
   Leo，sensing that I was scared，started telling us some stories about his camping adventures.But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed，I jumped. "Don't worry.Summer storms pass quickly，" Leo said，trying to comfort me. "And at least the rain will keep the bears away，" he said with a teasing smile，which was less comforting.
   And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in，it passed，and we exited the tent.The view was incredible---- I could see for miles.As darkness set in，I stared in wonder at the millions of stars glowing in the night sky.
   I wouldn't lie ---- I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed，but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way，I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.
