One day Bob took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing.

In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometres from their camp, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon, Bob could hardly(几乎不) see his hands before his face. He could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was white snow. Everything was the same.
