The answers:
My sense of direction is not very good, and I easily get lost.
One day, about the years ago, I was walking in the mountains between France and Italy when the weather began to turn bad.
I started to make my way back downhill, because I did not want to be caught in a
storm. But after a few hundred metres I realised that I was not sure of the way. The
clouds came down lower and lower, it started to rain, and soon I was completely lost.
I called as loud as I could, but of course there was nobody close enough to hear me.
I did not want to stay on the mountain, but it was impossible to go on, so I crawled into a hole between two rocks and waited for the storm to go over. After two or three hours,the rain stopped and the clouds lifted, and I was able to start walking again.
I was very cold and hungry, and I had nothing to eat, except a few sweets.
About half an hour later I suddenly recognised my surroundings, and I realised that I was only
two or three hundred metres above the campsite. However, my troubles were not over. On my way down I slipped and hit my knee against a rock. There was a deep cut and it hurt very badly, and as soon as I got back to the camp I went to see a doctor. Fortunately, nothing was broken.
