An embarrassing incident

One day last summer I was walking through the local park . It was a hot day and I was eating an ice cream . As I was walking past the boating lake , I saw my friends , Carol and Jim . They were taking their dog for a walk . When we met , we stopped for a chat . While we were taking , the dog suddenly jumped up and tried to get my ice cream . I pulled my hand away and unfortunately the ice cream came out of the cone . Now there was a bald man behind me . The poor man wasn't doing anything harm . He was just sitting on a bench and reading a newspaper . Well , when I pulled my hand away , the ice cream flew through the air and landed on the man's head . I didn't whether to laugh or to cry , but Carol and Jim did . When I looked at them , they weren't just laughing , they were in hysterics . But I was terribly embarrassed !

I've just been to see a film called Touching the Void. It's about two climbers who decided to go climbing in the mountains in Peru. It took them two days to reach the mountain they had been decided to climb because it was in such a remote place. They left a companion and the most of their supplies at a base camp, optimisstically thinking about they would be back in a couple of days. After a difficult climb, they reached at the top of the mountain. It was then that everything started to go wrong. Because of one climber had broken his leg, he had to be lowered down the mountain by means of a rope. His leg it was so much painful that he couldn't stand on it. After a very exciting bit of the film, which I won't describe, he found by himself alone at the bottom of a crevasse. He managed to climb out and eventually crawl to safety. The cold was so intense that he got frostbite in his hands, but he was carried on, dragging himself down a glacer and accross rocks. When he arrived at the base camp, his friends were too amazed to see him. They couldn't believe that in despite his broken leg, he had managed to reach the camp.
