The Thompsons go hiking

It was a hot summer morning when The Thompsons wanted to go for a hike and camp
in the woods for a night.

First, they packed some food and a tent, and put on light clothes. Then, they walked
to the bus station. Their car had broken down a week before, and the mechanic was
still working on it, so they took a bus. They just wanted to have a family adventure!

The journey took longer than expected - about 2 hours - and the road was a bit
bumpy. So the kids were feeling rather sick when they got off the bus. They rested
for a while and drank some fresh water. When they got better, they set off on a
small trail into the forest.

The kids were delighted! They had never been on a hiking trip before. Mum and Dad
had wanted to take them to the countryside for years, but they were always quite
busy with work. The night before, however, they thought/had thought they could
take a couple of days off and enjoy some family time. Before leaving the house, they
made sure they had switched their mobile phones off so that nothing would spoil
their fun.

They had been walking for a couple of hours,


enjoying the landscape and gentle breeze, when
suddenly, a phone chimed. Whose phone was it?
