It was the beginning of winter holidays. Ron and his sister
Tina were flying to a skiing resort with their parents for their first skiing holiday. Soon the family were entering a small, cosy hotel at the bottom of a mountain. A bright fire was burning in a big fireplace in the middle of the hotel hall. A big brown dog was sleeping in front of the fireplace. The
children were looking at the dog with admiration. Ron came up to the dog and read its name on the collar: «Buck». At that moment their mother called the children to the room.
Ron and Tina were practising skiing all the week. They could ski rather well now and were enjoying their time in the mountains.
Two weeks passed. It was the last day before their departure. It was getting dark and the parents decided to return to the hotel. But Ron and Tina wanted to go down the mountain one more time. When Tina was skiing she lost balance and fell down into the deep snow. She couldn't move her legs and shouted for help.
