Do you guys like hiking?
Hiking is great. But it can be dangerous, too. If you are not careful, you can fall. Or you might get too close to a strong river.
在野外健行有潛在的危險，可能會掉到山谷裡，或者碰到湍急的河流。
That's what happened to two men in Canada. They were hiking too close to a river and got trapped.
有兩個加拿大的登山客，因為河水上漲，就被困住了。
But they were lucky. Five other men saw them. These five men were going to look at a nice waterfall. There was just one problem. The two men were down by the river… The five other men were high above them.
幸運的是另外五個登山客看到了他們，但是他們的位置比困在山谷中的兩個人高了十公尺。
They didn't have a rope, so they did something very smart. Some of the five men were wearing turbans.
Turban 是回教徒男子頭上的頭巾。
They took off their turbans and they tied them together. They also tied their jackets to the turbans. They made a rope from the turbans and jackets.
他們脫下頭巾，和夾克綁在一起，做成一條長長的繩索。
They lowered the turbans and jackets down to the two men. Then the two men climbed up the rock… Wow! Those guys are really smart! And they are heroes, too!
能想到用衣物做成繩子來救人，真的很聰明！
