6. Where was Anny when she woke up at the end of the story?

   It was 7:00 am, and Anny was ready to go to the mountains. She had all she needed, the food and water, and her backpack. As she went up the mountain, everything was quiet. The warmth of the morning sun was very comforting. By the time she decided to climb a rocky mountain, the weather was slightly colder and windy. While she was climbing, it started to rain heavily and the surface of the rock became slippery. She tried to come back down slowly, but she got stuck. Anny looked around for help, but she was alone. She just needed to descend about 10 more meters to be safe, but she suddenly stumbled and fell off the mountain, screaming in despair. When she woke up at 7:00 am, Anny was in her bedroom and it was raining. There was no way she would go climbing.
