Something strange and unbelievable happened to my classmates last weekend. Bob and Jerry were best friends. They planned to go camping with the scouts club. In the evening, they were sent into the forest to collect some sticks for the campfire. Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily, and they didn't have an umbrella. They ran quickly to a big, fancy, ancient house, hoping to borrow one.
Jerry knocked on the door. "Excuse me, we are Boy Scouts from Jinning Junior High School. May we borrow an umbrella, please?" A friendly old man opened the door and welcomed them in. "Of course, my boys. You are all wet. Come in and have some tea and snacks. I will go get an umbrella for you." Jerry and Bob were very hungry, so they didn't want to miss a free treat. They walked inside and enjoyed a fancy tea time.
After the big meal, they felt very sleepy. The friendly old man came in again to clean the table. "It's still raining outside. Instead of sleeping in a tent in the rain, why not stay here for the night? I'll rest on this sofa. You can sleep anywhere you like."
Jerry and Bob looked at each other and smiled. How lucky they were! They were supposed to go back and meet their scout friends, but they just couldn't leave this warm, cozy place. They thanked the old man and happily stayed. They slept soundly all night and forgot they came just to borrow an umbrella.
The next morning, a cold breeze woke Jerry and Bob up. The fire in the fireplace had gone out, and they saw that the window was broken. Was there a robbery last night? They went into the old man's bedroom to check on him, but they couldn't find him anywhere. Suddenly, they heard a noise by their feet - a rat ran by and hid under the sofa. They followed the rat and saw a skeleton on the sofa! Jerry and Bob were terrified. They ran out of the house, into the forest, and back to their camp. When they looked back, the big, fancy, ancient house had disappeared. They were still wet and starving in the rain.

雨中露營
上週末，我的同學們經歷了一件奇怪又難以置信的事情。Bob 和 Jerry 是最要好的朋友，他們計劃和童子軍社一起去露營。傍晚時，他們被派去森林裡撿一些柴火來生營火。不幸的是，開始下起大雨，他們又沒帶傘。他們趕緊跑到一棟又大又漂亮的古老房子，希望能借一把傘。
Jerry 敲了門說：「不好意思，我們是金寧國中的童子軍，可以借我們一把傘嗎？」一位親切的老先生開門，歡迎他們進來。「當然可以，孩子們。你們都淋濕了。進來喝點茶、吃點點心吧。我去拿傘給你們。」當時 Jerry 和 Bob 餓壞了，所以他們決定不錯過這份免費的大餐。他們走進屋裡，享受了一段豪華的下午茶時光。
吃飽後，他們感到很睏。那位親切的老先生再次進來收拾桌子說：「外面還在下雨。與其在帳篷裡淋雨睡覺，不如今晚就待在這裡吧？我就在這張沙發上休息，你們可以隨便選地方睡。」
Jerry 和 Bob 互看了一眼，笑了。他們好幸運啊！他們本來應該回去找其他童子軍的，但現在實在不想離開這個溫暖又舒適的地方。他們向老先生道謝，快樂地留下來。他們一夜好眠，甚至忘了自己原本只是來借一把傘。
隔天早上，一陣冷風吹醒了他們。壁爐裡的火已經熄了，而且窗戶也破了。昨晚發生了搶案嗎？他們走進老先生的臥室想找他，但哪裡都找不到。突然，他們腳邊傳來聲音──一隻老鼠跑過去，躲到沙發底下。他們跟著老鼠一看，竟然看到沙發上有一具骷髏！Jerry 和 Bob 嚇壞了。他們衝出那棟房子，跑進森林，回到自己的營地。回頭一看，那棟又大又漂亮的古老房子竟然不見了。他們仍然淋著雨、餓著肚子。
