covering them with all the clothes she could find.
天黑下来的时候，她把提箱当作小床，把两个孩子放了进去，又把所有能找到
的衣服都盖在了孩子们身上。
During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the
children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small.
夜里，天冷得厉害。这位妇女尽可能地靠近孩子，甚至自己也想钻进箱子里
去，只是箱子太小了。
Early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could
send a signal.

Answer: A plane crashed in the mountains, but the only passengers, a young
woman and her two baby daughters, were not hurt. It was midwinter and
extremely cold, so the woman put the children in a case, covered them with
clothes and kept close to them all night. When she heard planes early next
morning, she stamped out SOS in the snow. This was seen by a pilot, who sent
a radio message, and they were soon rescued by a helicopter.
