Spring was in the air， bright sunshine， clear blue sky， and a gentle breeze1. The great outdoors looked inviting. Abby and her three friends decided to go camping on their own. They decided not to ask their parents for permission2 and went quietly into the woods nearby.
They arrived at the camping site and started to set up camp in the middle of tall huge trees. All four friends made their tents. They were excited to spend the whole day playing around， away from parents. Ashley and Claire managed to get food from their mom’s kitchens. They were sitting by the tent and enjoying the wonderful cookies， dipped3 in creamy rich chocolate. The forest was quiet and dark even in the daylight. The cool air was making their hair sing and dance. They continued to chat and enjoy their freedom.
Suddenly there was a sound from deep inside the woods. They became a little scared. Christina stood up calmly and started to walk towards the sound. She signaled4 the others not to follow her. Abby stared at her walking away and tried to call her but she had been way ahead.
After a long silence Claire said， “Hey， will Christina come back？”
“I don’t know what Christina is doing. I think she has gone mad.” Ashley replied to her.
“But where is she？ We only came here to enjoy and now see what is happening.” Abby cried. “What was the sound？ Where is Christina？” Claire said， “Ashley， I think we have to go into the woods and look for Christina.”
“Don’t tell me we are going in there.” Ashley replied.
“Oh yes， we are，” Claire replied to her in a shaky voice.
Holding each other’s hands， Claire， Ashley and Abby walked slowly in the direction where Christina had gone. They kept on calling Christina’s name while moving ahead.
Suddenly they heard a sound， “Claire， is that you？ Come here， I have found something interesting.” That was Christina. They were so relaxed. They reached Christina and found her playing with a cute little rabbit.
“It’s so cute！” said Ashley.
“But Christina， you should have not come here alone like this. We all were so worried，” Abby said， still sobbing5.
They all started playing with the rabbit; they got so involved in playing with the rabbit that they did not realize that it was almost evening.
Suddenly Abby said， “Oh my God！ It’s almost evening. We must rush back home. Our parents would be so worried.”
“I want to take this rabbit home，” said Christina. “OK， take it with you but come fast. We should go back immediately，” said Claire.
They took the rabbit along with them and returned home. They had just had an amazing camping trip. Christina’s courage to go inside alone， and the determination of all the others to go behind her and look for her， had brought them a new little friend.
春天就在空中，在燦烂的阳光里，在晴朗的蓝天下，在和煦的微风中。棒棒的户外活动看起来很吸引人。艾比和她的三个朋友决定自己去露营。他们决定不征求父母的同意，并悄悄跑进了附近的树林里。
她们到达了露营地，开始在高大的树林中间搭帐篷。四个人都搭好了帐篷。有一整天的时间离开父母去玩耍，她们都很兴奋。艾希莉和克莱尔设法从她们妈妈的厨房里拿了些吃的东西。她们坐在帐篷边，享用着蘸着浓郁巧克力的美味饼干。森林里即使在白天也很寂静昏暗。凉风吹拂着她们的头发。她们继续聊着天，享受着自由。
突然，树林深处传来了一些响动。她们感到有点害怕。克里斯蒂娜平静地站起来，开始朝着声响走去，并示意其他人不要跟着她。艾比看见她走开，试图叫住她，但她已经走远了。
沉默了很久之后，克莱尔说：“嘿，克里斯蒂娜会回来吗？”
“我不知道克里斯蒂娜在做什么。我觉得她疯了。”艾希莉回答说。
“但她在哪里？我们来这里只是想快活一下，但是看看现在发生了什么。”艾比哭着说，“那是什么声音？克里斯蒂娜去哪了？”
克莱尔说：“艾希莉，我觉得我们得去树林里找克里斯蒂娜。”
“别告诉我我们要走进去。”艾希莉回答说。
“哦，没错，我们要进去。”克莱尔用颤抖的声音回答她。
克莱尔、艾希莉和艾比手牵着手，慢慢地朝克里斯蒂娜去的方向走去。她们一边往前走，一边不停地叫克里斯蒂娜的名字。
突然她们听到一个声音，“克莱尔，是你们吗？快过来，我发现了一些有趣的东西。”那是克里斯蒂娜的声音。她们松了一口气。她们找到了克里斯蒂娜，发现她正在和一只可爱的小兔子玩。
“太可爱了！”艾希莉说。
“但是克里斯蒂娜，你不应该像这样一个人跑这里来。我们都很担心。”艾比说，她仍然在抽泣着。
她们都开始和兔子玩。她们太投入了，完全没有意识到已经是傍晚了。
突然艾比说：“哦，天哪！快到晚上了。我们必须赶回家。我们的父母会担心的。”
“我想把这只兔子带回家。”克里斯蒂娜说。
“好吧，带上它，但是要快点。我们应该马上回去。”克莱尔说。
她们带着兔子回家了。她们刚刚结束了一次很棒的露营。克里斯蒂娜独自一人进入树林的胆量和其他所有人跟着找到她的决心，给她们带来了一个新的小伙伴。
Courage and determination6 are very important to move forward in life. We should never fear anything and should always face every situation courageously7.
勇气和决心对于在生活中前行是非常重要的。我们不应该惧怕任何事情，应该勇敢地面对各种情况。
