Faisal: And I was wearing hiking boots!
Arlo: Did anyone help you?
Faisal: Yes, Dad threw me a rope and helped me out of the water. Then Mum told me to take off my wet clothes. She put a blanket around me and gave me something to eat. My sister took a photo!
Arlo: How embarrassing!
Faisal: I know!
Arlo: What an adventure! Are you OK?
Faisal: I’m fine. We loved Wadi Mujib. But next time, we won’t go anywhere without the right equipment!
Arlo: You look really tired.
Faisal: I am! We’ve just got back from a family camping trip in Wadi Mujib. It was really beautiful, but everything in my rucksack is dirty and wet!
Arlo: What happened?
Faisal: Well, first we got lost. We had a map, but no one had a compass.
Arlo: Oh, dear!
Faisal: Then we were thirsty. We had our water bottles, but they were empty. We couldn’t find anything to drink. Someone saw a wadi on the map, so we went for water. I was getting water when I fell in!
Arlo: Poor you!
