Allegedly…
There was an accident on a motorway. A big lorry crashed into another car. And then then other cars crashed into these two cars.
The lorry was full of beer cans. This was beer for a big supermarket and there were really many cans. When the crash happened, the lorry turned on one side and all the boxes with beer cans fell out on the motorway.
Some cans opened and the beer spilled on the motorway. But most of the cans were not damaged or open. They were there on the road. They waited for thirsty men.
The people from the cars called the police. Luckily, nobody was injured.
It was a very hot day and people were very thirsty. The men waited for the police. The beer waited for the men. They looked at the beer cans. Unfortunately, they could not drink any of them because the police could give them a fine.
And so, they were thirsty. They looked at the beer and waited for the police.
