Monday started as an ordinary day for Shannon St.Onge,who lived in Pense,a town in Saskatchewan,Canada.She drove the approximately 25 kilometres east into Regina for work.
She kept an eye on highway conditions throughout the day.The weather network was warning of a blizzard.Expected start time was at around 7 pm,but she thought she could make it. "I bought a takeout for the kids,filled my gas tank,replaced my broken phone charger and then headed home around 5:30 before the storm hit," she wrote in a Facebook post.
She took a dirt road because she thought it would be better for the winter driving conditions.Just as the pavement turned into gravel (碎石路),the wind picked up and visibility started to diminish (降低).She drove at a snail's pace with her window rolled down,using the edge as her guide.After a while she realized she was lost.Whiteout conditions left her confused.
She could make out a sign that said "Bouvier Lane," giving her some sense of where she was.Then she posted her location on the Pense community Facebook page in hopes that someone might be able to find her.That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr.figured out her location.Despite his wife's concern for his well-being,he decided to help her and headed out in the storm.
He bundled up (使穿得暖和),grabbed an LED flashlight and walked about half a kilometre into the raging storm to search for St.Onge's car.To Bouvier's surprise,he found two other cars with people who also needed help trapped alongside St.Onge.He led the seven lost people back to his home and welcomed them in for the evening.
Bouvier became a hero overnight.Bouvier didn't want much credit for his efforts for a stranger in need. "Everybody would have done the same thing," he said. "You don't think about it;you just do it."

1.There was once a captain.jye.ai loved money so much that he cheated(欺騙)his sailors(水手)at the end of every voyage(遠航)and took their wages(工資).
On the last day of one voyage,the ship was in a small port.It was winter time,and these a was very cold,so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night,I will give him my ship.But if he comes out before the sun appears,I shall get his wages."
