Faith in God
[00:27.48]Max is in his apartment on the fourth floor
[00:32.84]when the residential1 building is on fire.
[00:37.41]The fire starts on the second floor,and there's strong north wind.
[00:43.76]Before you know it,we're taking a major fire.
[00:48.93]Pretty soon,you hear sirens;a fire engine comes along.
[00:56.08]A firefighter,wearing an asbestos suit and a face mask,
[01:02.62]comes up to the fourth floor and yells to Max in the hallway,
[01:08.18]"Come on,we're here to save you.Get out of here,now."
[01:14.03]Max says,"No.I've got faith that God will save me."
[01:20.67]The firefighter moves on to save other tenants2.
[01:25.32]Soon the fourth floor was in flames.
[01:29.78]Max is forced up to the seventh floor by the smoke.
[01:34.51]The firefighter on the aerial ladder yells,"Come on!It's getting worse.
[01:40.75]If you don't get on the ladder,you're going to die.:
[01:45.30]Sticking his head out of the staircase window,Max says,
[01:51.07]"No.I'll be OK.I've got faith in God,and He'll save me."
[01:57.55]Now,Max is on the roof.
[02:01.50]A helicopter hovers3 overhead,and the pilot shouts out,
[02:07.14]"This is your last chance.Climb up the ladder.
[02:12.28]If you don't come now you're going to die."
[02:16.54]Max say from the roof,"No,thanks.God will save me."
[02:22.42]The pilot shrugs4 his shoulders and flies away.
[02:28.06]Fire consumes the whole building.
[02:32.14]Max dies in the fire.
[02:35.79]He ascends5 to heaven and asks an angel,
[02:40.94]"What happened?"
[02:44.18]I've been devoted6 to God and had absolute faith that He would save me.
[02:50.34]Why did He let me down?"
[02:53.82]The angel tells him,"What the hell do you want?
[02:59.17]God sent you two firefigters and a helicopter!"
[03:04.50]A Heroic Pig
[03:32.64]Alex was lost in a rural area and stopped at a farm to get directions.
[03:40.08]As he was talking to the farmer he noticed a pig with a wooden leg.
[03:46.74]"How did the pig get a wooden leg?"he asked the farmer.
[03:52.49]"Well",said the famer,"that is a very special pig.
[03:59.02]One night not too long ago our barn was on fire.
[04:05.29]Well,that pig set up a great squealing7 that woke everyone,
[04:11.74]and by the time we got there he had herded8 all the other animals out of the barn
[04:18.80]and saved everyone of them."
[04:23.05]"And that was when he hurt his leg?"asked Alex.
[04:28.12]"Oh no,"said the farmer.
[04:31.65]"He was fine after that.
[04:35.17]Though a while later I was in the woods out back and a bear attacked me.
[04:42.44]Well,that pig was near by and he came running
[04:48.21]and set on that bear and chased him off.
[04:52.65]He saved me for sure."
[04:56.62]"So the bear injured his leg then,"said Alex.
[05:01.87]"Oh no.He came away without a scratch from that.
[05:07.44]Though a few days later my tractor turned over in a creek9,
[05:13.89]and I was knocked unconscious.
[05:17.83]Well,that pig dove into the creek and pulled me out before I drowned."
[05:24.68]"So he hurt his leg then?"asked Alex."Oh no,"said the farmer.
[05:32.64]"So how did he get the wooden leg?"Alex asked.
[05:38.29]"Well,"replied farmer,
[05:41.63]"with a pig like that,you don't want to eat it all at once."
[05:47.66]An Experiment
[06:14.62]A think tank researching people's ability to survive under extreme circ umstances
[06:22.28]received a multinational10 grant to study whether a person's background
[06:29.04]increased or decreased his capacity to survive in the wild.
[06:35.08]Selecting an Englishman,a Frenchman,and a Japanese for the program,
[06:42.21]the researchers assigned them specific tasks.
[06:47.46]The Englishman was put in charge of shelter,
[06:52.03]the Frenchman in charge of food,and the Japanese in charge of supplies.
[06:59.19]Flying the men to a desert island,
[07:03.73]the researchers left them there fox six months.
[07:08.49]Returning to the island,
[07:12.04]the group was surprised to find a beautiful house on the beach.
[07:17.39]They were greeyted by the Englishman who showed them around.
[07:22.36]They were impressed with what he'd done:
[07:27.32]the floors were snuggly fitted planks11,
[07:32.49]the walls coated with homemade paint,and the roof leakproof.
[07:39.34]In the kitchen,they were welcomed by the Frenchman,
[07:45.21]who showed them a large cupboard stocked with meats,vegetables,fish,
[07:52.06]coconut milk,fruits,and other food.
[07:57.10]Out back,he had ereccted a pen for keeping wild pigs he had caught,
[08:03.27]and he had grown a substantial garden.
[08:07.31]"And tell me,"said the leader of the research group,
[08:12.38]"where is our Japanese friend?"
[08:16.14]"Well,sir."said the Englishman,
[08:20.22]"the truth is,we haven't seen him since we landed."
[08:25.36]Concerned,the scientists hastily formed a search party
[08:30.93]and ventured into the woods to find him.
[08:35.29]No sooner had they set out than the Japanese leaped from a tree and shouted.
[08:42.42]"Sup-plize!"(the Japanese accent for"Surprise!")
