Chapter 1: The Hiker Who Fell

It was a beautiful summer day in Glacier National Park. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the wildflowers were in bloom. A young woman named Sarah was hiking along a trail when she slipped and fell. She tumbled down a steep slope, landing hard on her back.

Sarah was in pain, but she was able to get up and walk. She hiked back to the trailhead and drove herself to the hospital. She was diagnosed with a fractured vertebra. She was lucky to be alive.

Chapter 2: The Climber Who Got Lost

It was a clear autumn day in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. A man named John was climbing a mountain when he lost his way. He wandered around for hours, trying to find his way back to the trail. But he only got more and more lost.

As night fell, John realized that he was in trouble. He was cold, tired, and hungry. He didn't have any food or water. He knew that he wouldn't survive the night if he didn't find help.

John started to pray. He prayed for strength and for guidance. He prayed that someone would find him.

Just when John was about to give up hope, he heard a noise. He looked up and saw a light in the distance. He ran towards the light and found a group of hikers who were searching for him.

John was so relieved to be found. He thanked the hikers for saving his life.
