If there is not enough information to answer ‘Right’ (A) or ‘Wrong’ (B),

An incredible journey

Billy, a boy from Scotland, was ten years old when this amazing story happened to him. His
parents gave him a video camera for his birthday and the next day Billy, his parents and his
sisters went to the beach. Billy was happy with his birthday present and he filmed his sisters
in the sea. But then, he put the camera on a rock and he forgot about it. The water came and
the camera disappeared into the sea.

Two months later, a woman called Astrid found the camera. But she was in Norway, not
Scotland. She turned on the camera and was very surprised. It worked! She looked at the
videos and she knew the people were in Scotland. Astrid put some of the images from the
camera online on a social media website. A week later, some friends of Billy’s parents saw
the images. ‘That’s Janet and Elaine!’ they said.

So Billy’s parents sent an email to Astrid, and now they are planning a trip to get the camera.
Billy wants all the family to go to Norway on holiday – but by plane, not by boat!
