When a plane from London arrived at Sydeny airport,workers began to unload a number of boxes which contained clothing.No one could account for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy.It suddenly occurred to one of the workers to open up the box.He was astonished at what he found.A man was lying in the box on top of a pile of woollen goods.He was so surprised at being discoved that he didn’t even try to run away.After he was arrested,the man admitted hiding in the box before the plane left London.He had a long and uncomfortable trip ,for he had been confined to the wooden box for over eighteen hours.The man was ordered to pay ￡3,500 for the cost of the trip. The normal price of a ticket is ￡2,000!

Mrs.Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through the forest after two men.They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag.In the struggl,the strap broke and ,with the bag in their possession,both men started running through the trees.Mrs.Anne Sterling got so angry that she ran after them.She was soon out of breath,but she continued to run. When she caught up them,she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag,so she ran straight at them.The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away.‘The strap needs mending’,she said later‘but they didn't seal anything.’
