Answer 1

Brad, an American teenager, didn't get on with his parents. He wanted to get away from them. He thought over it for several days before he finally decided to get out. He said to himself he would never come back. He was going out with Donna, a girl who was also

unhappy at home. One night he got up at 3 a.m. He took his father’s car. He picked up his girlfriend and they set off their journey for the Mexican border. They suddenly ran out of petrol in middle of Texas. What were they going to do? They talked over it for a long time, and finally they started to walk. They went on for hours in the hot sun. Brad took off his shirt so Donna could put it over her head. They tried to get a lift, but no-one stopped to pick them up. The nearest town was 25 miles away and the sun was going down. They lied down on the ground by the side of the road and fell asleep. Two hours later a man came up to them. His voice woke them up. It was a truck driver. Would he take them to Mexico, or would he hand them over to the police?
