Question

A 12-year-old boy named Tim Brown got lost in the mountains. However, he survived at last thanks to his amazing survival(生存，幸存) skills.

One day in October 2016, Tim went hiking with his group in the Magaliesberg Mountains, South Africa. At first, everything went well. But at about one o’clock in the afternoon, he lost his way and couldn’t find any other people. He got scared at first, but then he tried to calm down. He knew what to do in such a situation. ＂I should follow the river, follow the light, follow the sun and finally there will be buildings, roads and people and I could call home,＂ he told himself.

Tim kept walking. Suddenly he heard some sounds and ran towards them. But to his surprise, he saw some baboons (狒狒)。Unluckily, one baboon scratched (抓傷）his arm. He found some water to wash the blood off the scratches and continued to walk. Tim just wore a pair of swimming minks (游泳褲)，so he felt very cold. He tried to keep warm by covering his body with leaves. About 22 hours later, he finally met a farmer and was able to call his mom.

After he came back, his mom asked why he carried on walking when it got dark. The little boy said if he did that, he would see her again. Nothing could beat his love for his mom!
