The Most Unforgettable Experience in My Life
This most unforgettable experience stays fresh in my memory all the time. I will remember the
experience of being lost at night all my life.
This experience happened when I went for a holiday with my friend. It was on January 5 years ago.
It was a dark and a little bit cold night. One of my friends suggested to go outside to watch the stars. We
started from the cabana we lived in, each with a torch in hand. At first we just wanted to go around and
enjoyed the beautiful sky decorated by many stars. But later we decided to go further. All we did was walking
and talking. We ignored the most important thing -- a big forest was beyond the cabana. It was unfortunate
that we went into the forest and got lost.
When we found we were lost, it was too late to find the original way back to the cabana. I grasped
my friend’s hand firmly. The cold and strong wind blew against my face all the time. It whispered through the
trees. What’s more, the fog quickly became thick. Terrible fear came to my mind and made me tremble out of
my control. I was scared to death. The only idea in my brain was that it was the end of my life. It was
impossible for me to get out of the forest. Even though my friends tried to convince me that nothing bad
would happen to us. I still feared that we would come to a messy end.
It was hard to find the way clear because of the dense fog. It made us lose the sense of direction
totally. We didn’t know which way to go next. Suddenly, a man with a torch stood in front of us. At first, it
frightened us. We didn’t open our eyes until he came to pat us on our shoulders and told us that if we were
lost, he would help us to find the way back. At that moment, I was relieved because I knew I wouldn’t stay in
the forest forever. This kind man led us out. It was he who ended this terrible experience of getting lost. It was
really an unforgettable experience in my life. I will not forget this such a special experience.
