专业手打,望采纳: The main part of the story is: In 1993, a climber from America called Creg Mortenson, failed to climb K2 (the world's second highest peak).When he past though poor villages of Karakoran mountains in Pakistan, was touched by the kindness of the local residents, he promised to return and build a local school.And the "Three Cups of Tea" is the story of that promise.
