In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometers from their camp（营地）, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was white snow on the ground. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp?
