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

--- What happened to the man in the boat? |
| [00:18.880] |
The Wayle is a small river that cuts across the park near my home. |
| [00:26.200] |
I like sitting by the Wayle on fine afternoons. |
| [00:31.160] |
It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual. |
| [00:37.960] |
Some children were playing games on the bank and there were some people rowing on the river. |
| [00:45.720] |
Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard and it went towards a passing boat. |
| [00:54.720] |
Some people on the bank called out to the man in the boat, but he did not hear them. |
| [01:02.200] |
The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water. |
| [01:08.400] |
I turned to look at the children, but there weren't any in sight:they had all run away! |
| [01:16.160] |
The man laughed when he realized what had happened. |
| [01:20.360] |
He called out to the children and threw the ball back to the bank. |
