3．Nothing could stop Dad．After he was put on disability for a bad back，he bought a small farm in the country，just enough to grow food for the family．He planted vegetables，fruit trees and even kept bees for honey．
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure（肥料）．The Smell really burned the inside of your nose．When we complained about the terrible smell，Dad said the stronger the manure，the healthier the crops，and he was right．For example，just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell，and the taste was even sweeter．
As the vegetables started coming in，Dad threw himself into cooking．One day，armed with a basket of vegetables，he announced he was going to make stew（炖菜）．Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages，eggplants，potatoes，corns，onions and carrots．For about half an hour，the pressure built and the vegetables cooked．Finally，Dad turned off the stove，the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam．If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad，this was 10times worse．When Dad took off the lid，the smell nearly knocked us out．
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house．Just how bad was it？The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined，Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around．It didn't look that bad，and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell，it didn't offend the nose so much，either．I took a taste．It would never win a prize in a cooking competition，but it was surprisingly edible and we drank up every last drop of soup．

2．The Boy Made It!

Nicholas had no idea where he was．He tried not to panic．He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV．It was time to put the tips he had learned to use．
He decided to stop skiing．There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put．The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow．If he didn't，his body temperature would get very low，which could quickly kill him．
Using his skis，Nicholas built a snow cave．He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle．Then he piled branches on top of himself，like a blanket，to stay as warm as he could．
By that evening，Nicholas was really hungry．He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water．Not knowing how much longer he could last，Nicholas did the only thing he could-he huddled（蜷缩）in his cave and slept．
The next day，Nicholas went out to look for help，but he couldn't find anyone．He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave，because without shelter，he could die that night．On Tuesday，Nicholas went out to find help．He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him．After two days stuck in the snow，Nicholas was saved．
