One day in January, my uncle, my cousin and I decided to go hunting. We left by car in the afternoon. It
was a Range Rover with four-wheel drive. It took us three hours to get there. After we arrived at 5:15 p. m.,
we fixed the tent, then made coffee and had a short rest. After that, we went hunting, using a falcon (猎鹰).
We spent two hours without finding anything. On our way back to the camp, my cousin saw a rabbit. I
removed the falcon's head cover and let go of the aggressive falcon. When the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran
fast, but my falcon was a professional hunter. He flew up and came down to trick the rabbit. After two
minutes, the rabbit was caught. We took it back to the camp to cook our dinner. We ate the delicious food,
drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 p.m.
We left the camp the next day at 7 o'clock in the morning. We went north. However, around 10:00 a.m.
our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the ear without any progress.
Finally, we decided to walk. As it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40km in the
desert, I decided to get help myself. I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone. I knew
the way well, but it was a long way in the sand. I walked more than four hours without stopping.
When I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to rest. I drank all the water and slept for around two hours.
When I got up, it was dark. I continued to walk south. I was worried about my uncle and cousin. Suddenly,
I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camel. He took me to his house. When I had had enough rest, I
asked him to take me to the road where I found a car, It took me to the city to get help. I had one day to get
back to my uncle and cousin. When I got back to them, they were so happy because I had gotten help and
they were able to see me again.
