English translation▾
On Sunday, Paula and Nico went on a hike in the mountains.
They left early because the trail was quite long.
At first it was sunny and there was no wind.
They carried water, fruit, and a map inside their backpacks.
After an hour, they saw dark clouds above the summit.
Soon afterward it started to rain heavily.
Paula suggested following a shorter route to a shelter.
Nico looked at the map and accepted the change.
They reached the shelter before the storm began.
There they ate the fruit and waited until it stopped raining.
