C Trapped in a Hotel
D Lost in a Snowstorm
Giorgia and the rest of the
guests were inside the hotel at
the ski resort. There had been
earthquakes earlier in the day.
Now they were waiting for
transport to get them safely
down the mountain. Suddenly,
an avalanche hit the hotel.
Giorgia was knocked out. She
woke up in the dark, but she
wasn't on her own - she heard
other voices. The snow had
covered the building, though,
and there was no escape.
Everyone waited to be rescued.
There was no food and no light,
but they survived by eating ice
and snow. Fifty-eight hours
later, she heard the rescuers,
and said with relief, "I am
Giorgia, and I am alive!"
