　　It was already late when we set out for the next town, which according to the map was about fifteen miles away on the other side of the hills.

　　There we felt sure that we would find a bed for the night. Darkness fell soon after we left the village, but luckily we met no one as we drove fast along the narrow winding road that led to the hills. As we climbed higher, it became colder and rain began to fall, making it difficult at times to see the road. I asked John, my companion, to drive more slowly.

　　After we had travelled for about twenty miles, there was still no sign of the town which was marked on the map. We were beginning to get worried. Then, without warning, the car stopped. A quick examination showed that we had run out of petrol(汽油). Although we had little food with us, we decided to spend the night in the car.

　　Our meal was soon over. I tried to go to sleep at once, but John, who was 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 had seen, in the valley below, the lights of the town we were looking for. We at once unloaded (卸)all our luggage (行李)and with a great effort, managed to push the ear to the top of the hill. Then we went back for the luggage, loaded(装)the car again and set off down the hill. In less than a quarter of an hour we were in the town, where we found a hotel quite easily.
