75．SOS
When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the letters 'SOS' in the snow. Fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.


75. A light passenger plane flew off course and crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only survivors were a woman and her two baby daughters. Because it was winter, the snow was everywhere. When evening came, the woman tried every method to keep the children warm. She turned a suitcase into a bed and covered the children with all the clothes she had. During night time, the woman kept as close as possible to the babies. Early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and she stamped out the SOS in the snow. It was very lucky that a pilot saw the signal and sent message by radio to the nearest town. The woman and her babies were rescued!
