Captain Cowgill had always wanted to arrange a hot - air balloon
expedition.
One day, he placed an announcement in all the morning papers.
He
wrote that he needed three people who wanted to take a risky adventure.
Ten
people came to his office and Captain Cowgill selected three of them : two men
and a young lady.
The first volunteer was Mr.
Crutter, a well - dressed man of about sixty.
He
looked depressed and unhappy.
The second one was a doctor, Dr.
Hagan, a sad
thin gentleman.
The third adventurer, Miss Dermott, looked slim and miserable.
They were ready to fly in the balloon in spite of the risks.
Though Captain
Cowgill hoped for success, there was a great chance that the participants
wouldn’t come back.
The next day, the balloon was ready for the journey.
They had some food
and the gas equipment.
It was supposed that the travellers would fly during the
day and then land for the night.
Right before take - off, a young man ran up to
Captain Cowgill and begged to let him join the expedition.
Captain Cowgill
listened to his arguments and let the young man, Mr.
Winden, fly too.
With the last farewell to Captain Cowgill, the balloon went sailing
towards the clouds.
At first the travellers said nothing.
An hour later they found
the journey exciting.
Two hours later they revealed their reasons for coming on
the dangerous flight.
Mr. Crutter said that he had been cheated by his partners and had lost a
large part of his business.
Though he had enough money left, he felt extremely
depressed.
Dr. Hagan told the travellers that he had lost his job in a hospital.
He
felt lonely and unwanted.
Miss Dermott said that she suffered from a serious
disease and had no money for treatment.
Mr. Winden had just split up with his
girlfriend and was ready to die.
In the evening, the travellers decided to take a rest.
They landed in a
deserted place and tied the balloon to a tree.
After supper they continue talking
about their unhappy fates.
Suddenly, Mr.
Crutter offered to share his money
with his new friends.
Dr. Hagan smiled and looked at Miss Dermott.
“I think I
can cure you, Miss Dermott, ” he said.
“I have already had patients with the same
diagnosis.
” Miss Dermott smiled.
But it wasn’t the last surprise.
Mr. Winden
proposed to Miss Dermott saying that he had fallen in love at first sight.
She
shyly promised to think it over.
The talk raised their spirits and, in the morning, everybody decided to go
back home.
Now that all their problems were happily solved, they didn’t want to
go anywhere.
Suddenly Miss Dermott cried out pointing to distant object in the
sky.
It was their balloon that had broken loose while they were having breakfast.
Nobody felt upset!
The group decided to walk to the nearest railway station.
Mr. Crutter
bought tickets for his new friends and they sent Captain Cowgill a telegram.
It
said that the balloon had flown away accidentally, their expedition had failed
and they would arrive in town the next day.
Captain Cowgill tried to find the participants for his project using an advert.

A. What do you know about the Olympic Games in Ancient Greece?
Read the text to check yourselves.
Ancient Olympics Probably the greatest honour1 that can come to an athlete is to win gold at the Olympic Games.
But did you know that the idea of having Olym¬pic Games is more than 2, 500 years old?
A Greek legend says that it was Hercules ['h3 : kjuli : z], son of Zeus [zju : s], who started Olympic Games.
The earliest Olympic records ['rekDidz] we know about go back to the year 776 ВС.
The Greeks had the Games once in every four years for more than 1, 000 years, until the Romans stopped them in 394 AD.
The ancient Greeks believed the Games so important that they measured2 time by them.
They called the four years an Olympiad.
The Games were an example of the Greek idea that people should develop their bodies as well as brains.
Nothing was serious enough to stand in the way of the Games.
If a war was going on in the country, they stopped the war, not the Games.
The ancient Olympics had only one athletic competition — a running race of about 183 metres (the length of the stadium).
Only men could take part in the Games.
The powerful Spartans changed the programme and included more sports in it.
The winners of the Games became he¬roes ['hrarsuz] in the country.

The GreatTrain Robbery is one of the most famous crimes in British history.
But why?
It's hard to say, other robbers stole moremoney, such as the men who stole 53 million pounds from a security depot in 2006, and other robberies were more violent.
Nobody died during the Great Train Robbery, and the robbers only took 2.
6 million.
Not that, but the Train took place many years ago on 8th August 1963, in fact.
So what happened?
Well, 15 amed robbers stopped a train that was travelling from Glasgow to London by changing a green 'go' light to a red stop" light on the railway line.
When the train stopped, the robbers got on the train und told the driver to take it to the next bridge.
They didn't use guns but they hit the train driver on the head with an iron bar, hurting him badly.
The robbers put the money into bags, and then, at the bridge, they took the bays off the train and put them into cars that were waiting for them.
It was very well organized, and all the robbers escaped.
The robbers went to a farmhouse in the English countryside and waited for two days.
They played a game called Monopoly, because they were bored.
The problem was that they didn't wear gloves while they were playing the game.
When the police arrived at the farmhouse five days later, the robbers weren't there, but the police found their fingerprints on the Monopolygame.
The police soon arrested the robbers in London, and they all went to prison.
