Mom: Put this in your bag. It came with the school trip paper.

| Teacher on duty: Mr. Lo · 0912-345-678 |
| If a policeman asks, show this card |
| If you are lost: stay where you are, do not look for us |
| Meeting point: the big tree by the gate |
| First aid: red bag, with Miss Wang |
| Keep an eye on your bag; do not let anyone rob you |
Wei: Stay where I am? I would rather walk back to the gate.
Mom: No. Two people looking for each other never meet. Stay still and they will find you.
Wei: All right. I will put the number in my phone too, in case the card gets wet.
媽媽：把這個放進你的包包，是跟校外教學通知一起來的。

偉：待在原地？我寧願走回大門。
媽媽：不行。兩個人互相找永遠碰不到面。站著別動，他們就會找到你。
偉：好。我也會把號碼存進手機，以免卡片濕掉。
Saturday · Leaves 6:30 · Back before dark
The path is not hard, but it is long enough to be serious. Most accidents on this mountain happen on the way down, when people have walked all day and go faster than they should.
There is no phone service after the second bridge. This is why the rule about threes matters: one person stays, one goes for help. Everyone must accept this rule; the group master decides, not the user of the path. If you cannot accept it, please do not come on Saturday. Nobody will think worse of you.
星期六 · 6:30 出發 · 天黑前返回
步道不難，但長到不能輕忽。這座山大多數的意外發生在下山途中，因為人走了一整天，走得比應該的還快。
過了第二座橋就沒有手機訊號。這就是三人一組規定的意義：一人留下，一人去求援。每個人都必須接受這條規定；由領隊決定，而不是走這條路的人自己決定。如果你無法接受，星期六請不要來。沒有人會因此看輕你。
Dear Officer Wang,
I am writing about the road between the school and the night market. Four of the six lights have been out since Easter, and yesterday another one went out too.
Three hundred students walk there after their evening class, most of them between nine and ten. Last week a girl in my class was hit on the arm by a jeep's mirror because the driver did not see her until he was very close. She hurt her thumb, but next time may be different.
I have written down the dates and taken four photos. I am not asking for anything extra, only for the four lights that were already there. May I bring the photos to your office this week?
Lin Ann, Grade 8
親愛的王課長：
我想反映學校與夜市之間那條路的問題。六盞路燈中有四盞從復活節起就壞了，昨天又有一盞也壞了。
三百位學生晚自習後會走那條路，多數在九點到十點之間。上星期我班上一位女生的手臂被一輛吉普車的後照鏡撞到，因為駕駛直到很近才看見她。她傷到拇指，但下一次可能就不一樣了。
我已經記下日期並拍了四張照片。我沒有要求任何額外的東西，只要那四盞本來就存在的燈。這星期我可以把照片送到您的辦公室嗎？
林安，八年級
After something goes wrong, people look for the one person who made the mistake. Often there is one. Almost always there is more.
A driver runs a red light and may end up in prison, but the light had been slow for a year and nobody thought much about it. A worker falls, but the only way up was broken and there was no other. The person at the end of the line is the one we see first and the cheapest to blame.
Places that become safer are usually the ones that stop asking who and start asking what let this happen. It is a slower question and it makes nobody feel better on the day. But it is the only one that stops the same accident from waiting again next year.
出事之後，人們會去找那個犯錯的人。通常確實有一個。但幾乎總是不只一個。
一位駕駛闖了紅燈，可能因此入獄，但那個號誌已經慢了一年，卻沒有人多想。一名工人摔了下來，但唯一的上去方式是壞的，而且沒有別的。站在最末端的那個人最先被看見，也最便宜歸咎。
真正變得更安全的地方，通常是那些不再問「是誰」，而開始問「是什麼讓這件事發生」的地方。那是一個比較慢的問題，當天不會讓任何人好過。但它是唯一能阻止同樣的意外明年再度等在那裡的問題。
