| Earthquake in China |
Has everybody here heard of an earthquake? Do you know what it is like when it happens? Well, I once experienced it. Okay, I’ll tell you about my experience. Listen.
I was driving along the coast road when the car suddenly lurched to one side.
You know what happened? At first I thought a tire had gone flat but then I saw telegraph poles collapsing like matchsticks. It’s terrible, isn’t it?

Next, guess what? The rocks came tumbling across the road and I had to get out of the car. When I got back to town, well as I said, there wasn’t much left.
My God, that was a nightmare.
