Пояснення:

Last January, my boyfriend and I were returning
from our skiing holiday in Switzerland. We were
on a train to Geneva. Suddenly
the train stopped in the middle of a snowy
field. A few minutes later a conductor
came and explained the train was stuck in the
snow. We all got off and walked through deep
snow to a nearby village, where we were put
in a school building. Some friendly people
immediately brought us hot coffee and
food. After that we slept in the
classrooms. Meanwhile, a snow plough
arrived and dug out our train. 
Eventually we got on the train again
and arrived in Geneva the next day.  
Unfortunately, we'd missed our
flight home. At first, the airline
wanted us to pay the full price of a new ticket.
Fortunately, we managed to
persuade them that the situation was special
and in the end they put us on the
next flight at no extra charge. 
Finally, we arrived home a day later, exhausted
but amused by our adventure.
