[00:01.120]--- Lesson 81 Escape
[00:05.920]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:12.160]--- Why did the prisoner attack the driver?
[00:17.960]When he had killed the guard, the prisoner of war quickly dragged him into the bushes.
[00:25.960]Working rapidly in the darkness, he soon changed into the dead man's clothes.
[00:33.320]Now, dressed in a blue uniform and with a rifle over his shoulder,
[00:38.840]the prisoner marched boldly up and down in front of the camp.
[00:44.880]He could hear shouting in the camp itself.
[00:48.160]Lights were blazing and men were running here and there: they had just discovered that a prisoner had escaped.
[00:57.560]At that moment, a large black car with four officers inside it, stopped at the camp gates.
[01:07.720]The officers got out and the prisoner stood to attention and saluted as they passed.
[01:15.600]When they had gone, the driver of the car came towards him.
[01:21.600]The man obviously wanted to talk.
[01:25.440]He was rather elderly with grey hair and clear blue eyes.
[01:31.640]The prisoner felt sorry for him, but there was nothing else he could do.
[01:38.000]As the man came near, the prisoner knocked him to the ground with a sharp blow.
[01:44.200]Then, jumping into the car, he drove off as quickly as he could.
