from Chile to Argentina across the Andes mountains. When his
motorbike broke down* in the middle of the mountains, he decided
to walk to the nearest town. But he didn’t found any towns in the
area and when it started snowing, Mr Gonzalez got lost. What he
did do? He found a small shelter* high up in the mountains and
stayed there on his own. It was very cold and he didn’t met anyone
for a long time. He ate rats to stay alive, but he didn’t to catch many
and he lost a lot of weight.
Four months later, some scientists started work in the area and
found Mr Gonzalez. A helicopter took him to hospital and three
days later he went home. Mr Gonzalez said, ‘I didn’t felt so bad, so I
came home. I was very lucky.’ His doctor said, ‘I still can’t believe it.
How did he survived for so long? It’s amazing.’
