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

[00:00:12] --- how did the woman get help?

[00:00:17] when a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago,

[00:00:22] it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed.

[00:00:27] the only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt.

[00:00:36] it was the middle of winter.

[00:00:38] snow lay thick on the ground.

[00:00:47] when it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it,

[00:00:56] covering them with all the clothes she could find.

[00:01:00] during the night, it got terribly cold.

[00:01:05] the woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself,

[00:01:12] but it was too small.

[00:01:15] early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal.

[00:01:24] then she had an idea.

[00:01:27] she stamped out the letters 'sos' in the snow.

[00:01:34] fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town.

[00:01:42] it was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.
