[00:01.43]Lesson 39
[00:03.62]Nothing to worry about
[00:12.10]What was the differnce between Bruce's behaviour and that of other people?
[00:19.72]The rough road across the plain soon became so bad
[00:23.77]that we tried to get Bruce to drive back to the village we had come from.
[00:28.45]Even though the road was littered with boulders and pitted with holes,
[00:32.93]Bruce was not in the least perturbed.
[00:36.67]Glancing at his map, he informed us that the next village was a mere twenty miles away.
[00:43.70]It was not that Bruce always underestimated difficulties.
[00:47.74]He simply had no sense of danger at all.
[00:51.01]No matter what the conditions were,
[00:53.40]he believed that a car should be driven as fast as it could possibly go.
[00:59.31]As we bumped over the dusty track, we swerved to avoid large boulders.
[01:04.96]The wheels scooped up stones which hammered ominously under the car.
[01:09.69]We felt sure that sooner or later a stone would rip a hole in our petrol tank or damage the engine.
[01:17.14]Because of this, we kept looking back,
[01:20.19]wondering if we were leaving a trail of oil and petrol behind us.
[01:25.76]What a relief it was when the boulders suddenly disappeared,
[01:30.23]giving way to a stretch of plain where the only obstacles were clumps bushes.
[01:36.00]But there was worse to come. Just ahead of us there was a huge fissure.
[01:41.78]In response to renewed pleadings, Bruce stopped.
[01:45.72]Though we all got out to examine the fissure, he remained in the car.
[01:50.24]We informed him that the fissure extended for fifty yards
[01:54.48]and was two feet wide and four feet deep.
[01:57.85]Even this had no effect.
[01:59.87]Bruce went into a low gear and drove at a terrifying speed,
[02:04.49]keeping the front wheels astride the crack as he followed its zigzag course.
[02:09.62]Before we had time to worry about what might happen, we were back on the plain again.
[02:15.46]Bruce consulted the map once more and told us that the village was now only fifteen miles away.
[02:22.05]Our next obstacle was a shallow pool of water about half a mile across.
[02:28.22]Bruce charged at it, but in the middle, the car came to a grinding halt.
[02:33.70]A yellow light on the dashboard flashed angrily
[02:36.93]and Bruce cheerfully announced that there was no oil in the engine!
