On the way to the mountain, we enjoyed at seeing many beautiful flowers along the road. After we arrived at the mountain, all of us couldn’t help admire the natural scenery. Then he suggested that we should had a race between us, what made me excited too. So I agreed immediately. In an hurry, Kevin tripped on a stone and fell all the way down.
