One year. a British expedition(探险队)got lost in the sandy ocean of the Sahara Desert. The sun was burning hot. Everyone quickly ran out of water. If they made a wrong decision, then they could all soon die.

At this time, the leader took out a water kettle and said, “I found a kettle of water in my bag .But before we pass through the desert ,nobody is allowed to drink it” The kettle of water became the faith for everyone to cross the desert. It was passed on among the members of the team, It felt heavy.

Finally, the expedition made it out of the desert and escaped the hand of Death. With tears of joy, they opened it a kettle with trembling(颤抖的)hands-but out poured sand!

Was it a kettle of sand that really saved them in the desert? The answer is no. Their deep faith in the hope of survival(生存),like a seed, had taken root and grown in their hearts. That is what led them out of the terrible situation in the end.
