there has to be something good happening in the world,
10 agreed
not just the doom and gloom that we see on the television?
B Let me tell you a little story that has restored my belief in
1 k ​2 e ​3 j ​4 f ​5 c ​6 h ​7 g ​8 d ​9 b ​10 i the world.
C I was driving back from the theatre in Vienna last week and
1 tend I broke down on the motorway. The car wouldn’t start and I
2 fit didn’t have any power on my phone so I couldn’t call anyone.
3 in two minds Then, you’ll never guess what, a stranger pulled over and
4 the queue asked me if I was OK and if she could help. Amazingly, she
5 reward was a mechanic and so she checked the car and told me
6 persuaded what was wrong – I’d run out of petrol. Luckily, she had some
7 suitable spare fuel in her car and she gave it to me. She discovered
8 joined that my petrol gauge wasn’t working and told me to get it
