Five Boys Saved from Tunnel

That's the sound of a fire truck. Someone needs help! Firefighters are going
to help!
這是消防車的聲音，有人需要幫忙囉！

Firefighters help in emergencies. It can be a fire or a car crash. It's when
something bad happens.
消防隊員會幫助有緊急狀況的人，像是火災或是車禍。

Five boys had an emergency. They needed help from firefighters. It wasn't
because of a fire… They were in a sewer! Sewers are under roads. They are
for dirty water. Sewers have many tunnels. The boys walked in the tunnels.
They walked for 400 meters. Then they were lost!

Boys: Where are we?! HELP!

有五個男孩困在下水道裡面。他們跑進下水道，走了 400 公尺，卻在裡面迷路了！

One boy had a cell phone. He called for help.

Firefighter: Hello? This is the fire department…
Boy: Help!
Firefighter: Where are you boys?
Boy: We don't know where we are right now!
Firefighter: Okay, don't worry boys, we're on our way…
Boy: Please hurry!

其中一個人有手機，他打電話給消防隊員，但是他們都不知道自己在哪裡。

The firefighters drove very fast! Then they went down into the sewer. The
firefighters needed help. They did not see the boys.
消防隊員飛快地趕到下水道之後，找不到這些小男孩。

Firefighter: Call for help guys! We're looking for you. We want you to scream
and yell!

It worked! The firefighters found the boys! The boys were lucky. No one was
hurt. And the cell phone worked in the tunnel!
結果成功了！消防隊員找到了這些小男孩，沒有人受傷，而且很幸運的是，下水道裡面還可以用手機！
