Curtis Whitson knew Arroyo Seco very well. He had been to the camping site across the river many times with his friends.
But this time, it was different. Now he was with family: his wife and his 13-year-old son. And as they approached the river late in the afternoon, he found that the usually quiet river had turned wild due to a heavy rain two days before. It was impossible for them to cross the river to reach the camping site or return because it was too late.
“We cannot camp in the wildness and I have to send out a message for rescue,” Whitson thought.
He looked around and found a stick. He pulled out his pocketknife and carved “Help” in it. Then he tied a red rope to catch people's attention. He threw it into the river, but it did not float far and got stuck.
“Why not try our luck with our green Nalgene water bottle and put a note in it?” suggested his wife,
Whitson did as he was told and carved the word “help” on it before he threw the bottle into the river. This time, it worked perfectly.
“All right, we have tried our best to get help,” Whitson said, “But we should not just wait in this dangerous wildness in case…”
They walked up and down along the river bank for about 30 minutes and found a flat place to set up their tents. They collected enough dead branches and wood to keep a campfire going on all night. As the darkness closed in, they placed on the top of the camp a headlamp with its flashing light on. They waited until 10: 30 pm. But nothing happened. So they went to bed. Before turning in, Whitson added more wood to the fire to keep the dangerous animals away.

When tea and coffee was first introduced to Europe in the 18th century, people thought they were harm. So the king of Sweden decided to find out that this was true or not. It was happened that there were two brothers were in prison at the time. The king ordered one of them to drink tea every day and other coffee. Both of them have lived many years without any problem. At last the one who had to drink tea died on the age of 83 and the other lived even long. Because of this, Sweden is today one of the country where tea and coffee are drunk.
