Listen and answer the questions.

I met him there, in Kingston, Jamaica. I was walking in the street, after my
siesta, when I saw him. He was very dirty and looked a bit crazy. “Sir,” he said,
“do you have some minutes for an incredible story?” “Incredible?” I said.
“Yes!” he said, “I am one of the unhappiest men on earth.” I was bored and
with nothing to do, so I had an idea. “Have you had dinner?” I asked. “No, I
haven’t,” he replied, “for many days.”

So I paid him dinner in a very cheap restaurant, and while we were eating, he
told me his story. Although his story was difficult to believe, I felt sorry for the
guy. I got him a bed for the night and next day, after I verified his story, I gave
him some money, some clean clothes, and helped him go back to England.
