“Keep calm, mum. Everything will be all right.” The boy  49 the scared mother.
He climbed on and tried to do something to help. Finally, the car started to come off the ground and hung in the   50 .
After a few minutes, the policemen were sent for. Luckily, the father, who  51 under the car, could still breathe, alive.
