[00:16.83]Expensive and  uncomfortable
[00:21.97]When a plane from London arrived at Sydney airport,
[00:26.29]workers began to unload a number of wooden boxes which contained clothing.
[00:33.98]No one could account for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy.
[00:41.35]It suddenly occurred to one of the workers to open up the box.
[00:47.39]He was astonished at what he found.
[00:51.18]A man was lying in the box on top of a pile of woollen goods.
[00:58.41]He was so surprised at being discovered that he did not even try to run away.
[01:06.47]After he was arrested,
[01:08.87]the man admitted hiding in the box before the plane left London.
[01:14.80]He had had a long and uncomfortable trip,
[01:19.36]for he had been confined to the wooden box for over eighteen hours.
[01:26.35]The man was ordered to pay `3,500 for the cost of the trip.
[01:34.63]The normal price of a ticket is `2,000!
