As a(n) 2 visitor since childhood, Gayowski knew all the ski paths well. This time, a path that wasn' t marked on the maps 3 him the most. He headed up for it and explored deeper and deeper into the bushes. It took a while for him to 4 that there was no way for him to ski. Gayowski slid to a stop and pulled out his phone but it was 5 .
The weather started to change. The winds were picking up and clouds 6 overhead. Soon it began snowing. Gayowski went deeper, reaching a 7 , which he wished would lead him to a roadway.
After he had followed the river for a long distance, Gayowski quitted any 8 of finding his way out. 9 and hungry, his legs were beginning to give out on him. He sat down under a tree, and curled up to 10 himself. Worse still, with the temperature below freezing, his phone was totally dead. 11 , shouts coming behind him cheered him up. Then three 12 in the distance were approaching fast. He was in tears by the time they 13 him.
Gayowski was more than 14 for their help, otherwise he couldn' t have returned safe and sound. After the incident, he decided to be a rescuer like them. The next time someone is 15 alone in the bush, he wants to be part of the team to save him or her.
