It was already late when we started going to the next town. It was about 15 miles away on the other side of the hill. There we felt sure that we would find a bed for the night. Darkness fell along the narrow road to the hill. As we climbed higher, it became colder and rain began to fall. It was difficult at times to see the road, so I asked my friend John to drive slowly.
We travelled for about 20 miles but we couldn't find the town. We were beginning to feel worried.
Then the car stopped. We found that we were out of petrol , so we decided to spend the night in the car.
After eating some bread, I tried to go to sleep at once, but John, a poor sleeper, got out of the car after a few minutes and went for a walk up the hill. Soon, he came running back. From the top of the hill he saw the lights of the town in the valley below. At once, we tried to push the car to the top of the hill. In less than an hour we were in the town, and we found a hotel there easily.
当我们开始去下一个城镇时，已经很晚了。 它在山的另一边大约15英里远。 我们觉得在那里肯定能找到过夜的地方。 黑暗沿着通往山上的狭窄道路降临了。 我们爬得越高，天就越冷，开始下起雨来。 有时很难看清路，所以我让我的朋友约翰开慢点。
我们走了大约20英里，但找不到那个城镇。 我们开始担心起来。
然后车停了下来。 我们发现汽油用完了，于是决定在汽车里过夜。
吃了一些面包后，我想马上去睡觉，但是约翰，一个睡眠不好的人，几分钟后下了车，走上山去了。 很快，他跑回来了。 从山顶上，他看到下面山谷里城镇的灯光。 我们立刻把车推到山顶。 不到一个小时，我们就到了城里，很容易就找到了一家旅馆。
