--- First listen and then answer the question. |

--- 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! |
