On December 24, 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke was the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed the other 91 passengers. More than forty years later, she tells her story.

“On Christmas Eve, 1971, me and my mother boarded a flight from Lima, Peru to Pucallpa in the Amazonian rainforest in order to join my father.

Suddenly, after twenty-five minutes of flight, we entered into a very heavy, dark cloud.
There was heavy turbulence and the plane was jumping up and down. Parcels and luggage were falling from the lockers and gifts were flying around the cabin. When lightning struck the airplane I was scared. Passengers were screaming and crying around me. Then the plane crashed and I lost consciousness and remember nothing of the impact.

I woke up the next morning in the Amazonian forest. I shouted out for my mother but I only heard the sounds of the jungle. I suffered from a broken collarbone and I had deep cuts on my arms and legs.

I found a river and I followed it downstream, hoping to find civilization. It was very hot and wet and it rained several times a day. It was cold in the night and I was only wearing a short mini-dress. Besides, I was really hungry because my only food was a bag of candies. I avoided crocodiles, piranhas, snakes and other dangerous jungle creatures but insects bit me and infected my wounds. I felt so lonely and scared.

After spending nine days in the jungle I finally saw a boat. Near the boat was a shelter in which I fell asleep. Several hours later, some men returned to the shelter and took care of my injuries and they gave me food. The next day they took me down the river to find help. The boat trip took seven hours. My father was waiting for me. We held each other before they took me to the hospital.

I was the only survivor of the plane crash”.

Can you say the word priest with diferent accents

Once upon a time in a small village nestled between rolling hills, there lived an elderly woman named Rose. Her days were woven with threads of solitude, yet she possessed a heart brimming with stories waiting to be shared.

One chilly afternoon, a young girl named Lily, with curious eyes and a heart full of innocence, wandered into the village. She discovered Rose sitting on a weathered bench, gazing at the world through the lens of a lifetime.

Lily, drawn to the warmth in Rose's eyes, shyly approached and asked, "Would you share a story with me?"

A gentle smile danced on Rose's lips as she began to weave a tale of love, loss, and the undying spirit of hope. As the words flowed, Lily's imagination painted vibrant pictures of the characters and places Rose described. It was as if time itself stood still, and the two souls became companions in the vast tapestry of storytelling.

Days turned into weeks, and the bond between Rose and Lily deepened. Rose found a renewed sense of purpose in sharing her stories, while Lily discovered the beauty of connecting with another through the magic of words.

One day, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Rose shared a particularly poignant story about the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. Lily listened with wide-eyed wonder, absorbing the wisdom imparted by her newfound friend.

As the final words hung in the air, a tear escaped from Rose's eye. Lily, sensing the depth of emotion, reached out and held Rose's wrinkled hand. In that simple gesture, a profound connection formed between them—a bridge between generations, a testament to the timeless power of stories.

Weeks turned into months, and Lily continued to visit Rose, bringing with her the joy of youthful exuberance and the promise of a future yet to unfold. Rose, in turn, shared the treasure trove of her experiences, leaving an indelible mark on Lily's heart.

One crisp autumn morning, the village awoke to find that Rose's bench was empty. Lily, with a heavy heart, discovered a letter tucked into the folds of Rose's favorite blanket. In it, Rose expressed gratitude for the companionship Lily had brought into her life and the joy she found in passing on the torch of storytelling.

As the village mourned the loss of a beloved storyteller, Lily understood that the essence of Rose's stories would forever live on in her heart. The bench, now a symbol of shared memories, stood as a testament to the enduring power of connection, the beauty of storytelling, and the profound impact one life can have on another.
