[00:00:00] --- lesson 7 too late

[00:00:06] --- first listen and then answer the question.

[00:00:12] --- did the detectives save the diamonds?

[00:00:19] the plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning.

[00:00:26] they were expecting a valuable parcel of diamonds from south africa.

[00:00:32] a few hours earlier, someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds.

[00:00:41] when the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield.

[00:00:52] two men took the parcel off the plane and carried it into the customs house.

[00:00:59] while two detectives were keeping guard at the door, two others opened the parcel.

[00:01:07] to their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!
