“Why did we pick today for this? I should be staying at home, having a birthday party, and lots of birthday gifts are waiting for me!” I said to Dad, a little upset. Six miles into our bird-watching trip in Happy Forest Park, we were in ___1___ .

In the morning, we set out in ___2___ weather. Birds were singing along the way while we enjoyed the sunshine. But storm clouds came unexpectedly.

“I checked the weather, but the app didn’t ___3___ us,” Dad explained. Mom comforted me.

“Don’t worry, and maybe you’ll get a nicer ___4___ for your birthday.”

“Really?” I forced a smile.

“Find shelter (遮蔽)!” Dad shouted as the heavy rain poured down. We ___5___ a rest area nearby and rushed there. The wind blew hard and I felt cold. I found I’d forgotten to take my emergency rescue blanket (紧急救生毯) when I ___6___ my bag.

“Ta-da! Look! ” Dad pulled out a blanket from his bag and put it over us. “Let’s ___7___ ,” he added. Mom brought out a packet of cookies. “___8___ makes everything better,” she said, passing them around. Her calmness helped me breathe ___9___ .

Half an hour passed, but the rain didn’t stop. We had to ___10___ the trip and return.

The ground was wet, so Dad kept reminding us to be slow and ___11___ . He suggested we hold on to the trees in order not to ___12___ .

The sky grew dark, so we couldn’t see the road clearly. “Are we…___13___ ?” I asked. Dad took out a compass (指南针) from his magic bag. “See this? Always ___14___ one,” he said, “North is that way.” Then he guided us with a flashlight.

We finally got to the car park and drove home safely. On arriving home, we got into warm clothes. “The weather in the mountains changes anytime. Luckily, with good ___15___, we made the trip safe and sound. High five!” Dad said while we were drinking hot chocolate.

“And this unusual trip is the best birthday gift I got today,” I smiled to Mom.
