It was Billy's first time away from
home. He was spending the night with his friend Tommy on a trip
camping. Billy and Tommy were the best of friends ever since they met
in school. During the day, Tommy's dad took the boys fishing and they
had a picnic throughout the day. Both of the boys were having the
time of their lives. They went hiking before they decided to make
camp for the night. As they walked, Tommy's dad was starting to get a
worried look on his face. Tommy and Billy looked around, and they
couldn't see any form of where they had been before. Tommy's dad was
looking around, but the look still remained on his face. Billy and
Tommy started to get worried. Tommy's dad reached in his pocket and
pulled out a piece of paper out of his coat pocket.
“What is that Daddy?” Tommy asked
him.
“It's a map son, of the entire park.
I made sure to mark the campsite before we started our hike. I can
use it to find our way back,” his dad explained. He looked at the
map for a minute, then started walking in a different direction.
Tommy and Billy followed closely behind, they didn't want to get
lost. Tommy's dad kept referring to the map to find their way. They
walked and they walked, but eventually they got back to camp.
“See? That wasn't so bad, was it?”
Tommy's dad said. Tommy and Billy agreed. They were very glad Tommy's
dad could read the map better than they could. They would have been
lost without him.
