[00:00.800]--- Lesson 30 Football or polo?
[00:07.480]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:13.120]--- What happened to the man in the boat?
[00:18.880]The Wayle is a small river that cuts across the park near my home.
[00:26.200]I like sitting by the Wayle on fine afternoons.
[00:31.160]It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual.
[00:37.960]Some children were playing games on the bank and there were some people rowing on the river.
[00:45.720]Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard and it went towards a passing boat.
[00:54.720]Some people on the bank called out to the man in the boat, but he did not hear them.
[01:02.200]The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water.
[01:08.400]I turned to look at the children, but there weren't any in sight:they had all run away!
[01:16.160]The man laughed when he realized what had happened.
[01:20.360]He called out to the children and threw the ball back to the bank.
