It was the last day of their hiking holiday in the Dana Nature Reserve. Sami, his older sister Eman and their dad were drinking cool water on top of a mountain, enjoying the beautiful views. ‘We should go to the campsite,’ said Dad. ‘It’s getting late.’ ‘Can we hike down this way?’ asked Eman, pointing to a narrow, rocky path. Eman was a good hiker, so her dad said, ‘Yes, but we must be careful! It’s very steep!’ ‘Can we take the easier path, Dad?’ asked Sami, but Eman was already walking ahead. ‘Come on, Sami! Don’t be scared!’ she said, laughing.
Sami and Dad were walking down slowly and carefully when they heard someone. They found Eman on the ground. ‘She’s had an accident!’ shouted Sami. ‘I fell over,’ Eman cried. ‘I’ve hurt my leg!’ ‘Keep still! You mustn’t move,’ said Sami. ‘I learned fi rst aid at school.’ ‘We need to call an ambulance,’ said Dad. He was pressing buttons on his phone, but it didn’t work. ‘You should go for help, Dad. I’ll stay here with Eman. She’s hurt and she needs to keep warm,’ said Sami.
‘You should go, too,’ said Eman to Sami. ‘You don’t need to stay with me.’ ‘No! We mustn’t leave you alone. I’ll be back as quickly as I can!’ said Dad.
Dad ran to the nearest village. He told the rescue team about the accident. It was getting dark when Dad and two men arrived in a truck. Soon Eman was back in the village. ‘You’ve broken your leg. You need to lie down and rest,’ said the doctor. ‘Thank you, Sami!’ said Eman. ‘And I’m sorry for laughing at you.’
