AUDIOSCRIPT 2.1
That reminds me of another story I heard about a man who had a lucky escape. He had
been at a barbecue restaurant on top of a mountain, and after the meal he decided not to
take the cable car down with his friends but to walk down instead. While he was looking
for the path, he fell into a stream and broke his leg. Unable to move, he tried to phone for
help, but his mobile wasn’t working because he’d dropped it in the stream. Knowing he
was missing, teams of people were looking for him, but it was twenty-four days before
they found him. Luckily he’d brought a bottle of barbecue sauce with him to the
barbecue, and he survived by drinking water mixed with the barbecue sauce.
