Write a story about a rescue

The rescue happened while we were on holkday in the Alps last December. It was fantastic and I was lucky.
I was with my cousins and we were on the without traks near a forest. There was a hand of a person under the snow! We phoned the rescue number and a few minuters later the rescue team came fast. We talked about the hand of a man and they unearthed it. But suddenly an avalanche came and we had no time.

Luckly we returned to the ski station safely on a helicopter. We were heroes!

Halloween

What do you know about Halloween?

  Halloween, one of the world's oldest holidays, is still celebrated today in several countries around the globe. The autumn rite is commemorated in the United Kingdom, although with a surprising and distinctive British twist. In Mexico, Latin America, and Spain, All Souls' Day, the third day of the three-day Hallowmas observance, is the most important part of the celebration for many people. In Ireland and Canada, Halloween, which was once a frightening and superstitious time of year, is celebrated much as it is in the United States, with trick-or-treating, costume parties, and fun for all ages.

   The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (pronounced sow-in), which means "end of summer", the Celtic New year.
