Life isn’t all sunshine or rainbows. We’ll experience happy times, and we can also go through hard times.

Last year, I decided to go camping with my family. It was a fine day. We got everything we needed and set out early in the morning. After a three-hour drive, we arrived at our destination(目的地).

We put up a tent together and lit a fire. Then I went to take care of my little sister, and my brother went fishing in the nearby river! Suddenly, the weather became bad, and soon it began to rain cats and dogs. Dad shouted, “Get in the tent!” The small tent protected us from the heavy rain. Luckily, it wasn’t broken. Then I realized my brother didn’t appear. Without thinking, I ran to the river to look for him, but there was no trace(踪迹). I felt worried.

I walked along the river, and suddenly, I saw some footprints! I was excited and followed them until I found my brother in the middle of the river. I noticed a long rope under a big tree. I threw it to him and pulled him up.

The success of saving my brother from danger gave me greater pleasure than camping. I learned that it’s good to help others and see smiles on their faces.
