Answer

Story 1

  • A: You'll never guess what happened last night.
  • B: Go on. What?
  • A: Well, I was driving home from the office when I suddenly saw a deer in the road.
  • B: Seriously? In the middle of all the traffic?
  • A: Yeah! It was a huge animal, with really big antlers. It was actually a bit scary. I thought it might run into one of the cars.
  • B: But what was it doing there?
  • A: I guess it had come out of the forest that stretches along the side of the road. The poor animal looked really scared and confused.
  • B: So what happened in the end?
  • A: Well, the police and wildlife officers were going to tranquilise it, but they couldn't shoot at it because there was still a lot of traffic around. As far as I know, they haven't caught it yet.

Story 2

  • A: Did you hear about that cat that spent a week stuck in a car engine?
  • B: No, where was that?
  • A: I think it was in Austria. This guy heard something coming from his Mercedes so he looked under the bonnet and found his neighbour's cat.
  • B: But what was it doing there?
  • A: Nobody knows. But it had hidden so deeply inside the engine that they had to take it apart to get the cat out. It had been there for a week without food or water and the guy had driven 300 miles!
  • B: Seriously? Not hurt or anything?
  • A: No, it was amazing. It just had a few minor burns on its fur.
  • B: So what happened in the end?
  • A: They guy gave the cat back to his neighbour. Apparently, it was fine, despite what had happened.
