[00:01.120]--- Lesson 46 Expensive and uncomfortable
[00:08.840]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:14.800]--- What did the man in this story do?
[00:20.640]When a plane from London arrived at Sydney airport,
[00:25.280]workers began to unload a number of wooden boxes which contained clothing.
[00:32.840]No one could account for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy.
[00:41.240]It suddenly occurred to one of the workers to open up the box.
[00:46.320]He was astonished at what he found.
[00:50.080]A man was lying in the box on top of a pile of woollen goods.
[00:56.640]He was so surprised at being discovered that he did not even try to run away.
[01:04.080]After he was arrested, the man admitted hiding in the box before the plane left London.
[01:12.280]He had had a long and uncomfortable trip, for he had been confined to the wooden box for over eighteen hours.
[01:22.520]The man was ordered to pay $3,500 for the cost of the trip.
[01:30.720]The normal price of a ticket is $2,000!
