My friend Vernon Davies kept birds. One day he phoned and told me he was going away for a week. He asked me to feed 16 birds for him and said that he would leave the key 17
his front door in my mailbox.
18 (fortunate), I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return. What was worse, 19 was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found that the key Vernon gave me could not unlock either the front door 20 the back door. I was getting desperate. I kept thinking of 21 Vernon would say when he came back.
I was just going to give up 22 I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed in under the window. As the barrel was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But in the end, I managed to climb 23 and open the window.
I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone 24
(shine) a torch up at me. I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady, one of Vernon’s neighbours. “What are you doing up there?” said the policeman. 25 (feel) like a complete fool, I replied, “I was just going to feed Mr Davies’ birds.”
Three surfers rushed to save a man’s life after he was left drifting on a notorious stretch of water.
The men stayed with Greg Popple for 30 minutes and had to be rescued themselves by helicopter as the drama unfolded.
The 45-year-old had floated out on a body board near Hutchwns Point at 8:30 am. He found himself in trouble about half-a-mile from the shore and dangerously close to rocks. Surfers Graig Evans, 31, Robert Miles, 19, and Owain Daviees, 23, were risking their own safety to keep him floating for 30 minutes. Luckily a passer-by noticed what was going on and raised the alarm. Porthcawl Coastguard, Porthcaw Lifeboat and an RAF helicopter all took part in the rescue.
“The man who got into trouble was a body boarder-there was a big tide where he was,” said Joe Missen. “Three other surfers spotted he was in difficulty and he was going down. They kept him afloat because he was in a state of shock and out of energy. If Mr. Popple was closer to the rocks, it could have been a lot worse, but they managed to keep him from harm”.
Mr. Missen’s mum Alison, also part of the rescue team, said, “That part of the water is notorious for taking people out to nowhere”.
The three men had clocked off a night shift at Ford Motor Company shortly before the incident.
“I headed straight down to the beach for a surf, when I saw him flailing(挥动). We just swam straight out to him and kept him calm while the help came”.
The four men were taken to the life boat house to recover, without injuries.
