Module: Reading Pulse 2

Saved By An MP3 Player
Sophie Frost, a schoolgirl form England, felt very lucky when her grandmother gave
her an MP3 player as a present. She didn’t know just how lucky she was, however. When an
unexpected accident happened a few days later, the MP3 player probably saved her life!
14-year-old Sophie was going for a walk with her friend, Mason Billington, when it
started raining. The two friends took shelter from the rain under a tree and were sitting
together when lightning struck. The lightning hit them both and they lost consciousness.
Then Mason woke up and carried Sophie to the nearest road in order to get help. A car
stopped and took them to hospital. Sophie had some burns on her chest and legs. She also
had some damage to her eyes and ears, but fortunately she quickly recovered.
How did Sophie’s MP3 player prevent her from having serious injuries? When the
accident happened, she wasn’t listening to music on the player, but was wearing it around her
neck. Doctors believe that the lightning travelled through the wire of the MP3 player instead
of through Sophie’s body. Even though she was lucky this time, one thing’s for sure. The
next time there’s a storm, she and her friend won’t sit underneath a tree!
