Escape from the Jungle

On Christmas Eve 1971, Juliana Koepke, a seventeen-year-old German girl,

_______________ Lima by air with her mother. They _______________ on
their way to Pucalipa, another town in Peru, to spend Christmas with
Juliana’s father. Forty-five minutes later the plane _______________ up in a
storm and Juliana _______________ 3,000 metres, strapped in her seat. She
was not killed when the seat _______________ the ground (perhaps the
trees broke her fall), but she _______________ all night unconscious.
The next morning Juliana _______________ for pieces of the plane and
_______________ for her mother. Nobody answered and she found nothing
except a small plastic bag of sweets.
Juliana’s collar bone was broken, one knee was badly hurt and she had deep
cuts on her arms and legs. She had no shoes; her glasses were broken so she
could not _______________ snakes or spiders; and she was wearing only a very short dress which was badly torn. But she decided to
try to _______________ out of the jungle because she _______________ that if she stayed there she would die. So Juliana
_______________ to walk. She did not _______________ anything to eat and as days went by she got weaker and weaker. She was
also in bad trouble from insect bites. She _______________ helicopters, but could not see them above the trees and of course they
could not see her. One day she _______________ three seats and _______________ that they had dead bodies in them but she did
not recognise the people.
After four days she _______________ to a river. She saw caimans but she _______________
that they do not usually attack people. So Juliana walked and _______________ down the
river for another five days. At last she _______________ to a hut. Nobody was there but the
following afternoon, four men arrived. They _______________ her to a doctor in the next
village. Juliana then learnt that there were at least three other people who were not killed in
the crash. But she was the only one who _______________ out of the jungle. It took her ten
days.
