Have you ever wanted to achieve something really amazing in life?Well,Greg Mortenson wanted to climb a mountain,but he ended up helping thousands of people to have a better life.
Greg's story began with failure.In 1993,he set out to climb K2,the world's second highest mountain.But Greg never made it to the top.After five days,he stumbled(踉蹌)into the village of Korphe in northern Pakistan,injured(受傷)and hungry.The kind villagers there looked after him for several days.
