→ It's
Saint Patrick's Day !
A
Modest Hero
The
scene took place on a balcony. A girl was hanging from the balcony of
her apartment.
Lea
thought the girl might be a Yamakasi !
Grefffory
believed she MIGHT HAVE WANTED to catch her glasses but she fell.
Arnaud
thought she MUST HAVE WANTED to die. She MIGHT HAVE BEEN depressed...

A
man saw the woman. He called the firemen / the police and they
rescued her. He became a hero for his neighbours, but he didn't think
he was a hero.
2
weeks later, the woman rang the man's doorbell. She wanted to thank
him.
But
he just said, « oh, it's nothing... »
Without
the man's intervention, she WOULD / COULD HAVE DIED.

The
Hudson River Miracle
and the Hero Pilot
8
years ago a plane took off from LaGuardia airport in New York City.
It flew for a

landed / crashed in the Hudson River.
It
was a miracle !
Without
this fantastic pilot, the plane WOULD / COULD HAVE CRASHED and the
passengers WOULD / COULD HAVE DIED.
