Man Behind an ATM – level 3

10-08-2021 15:00

A man who was working behind an ATM in Texas got stuck inside it. He had left his phone in his truck so he could not call for help.

He slipped notes to customers asking them for help. Most people dismissed the notes as a prank, but one called the police who then could hear ‘a little voice coming from the machine’.

One officer kicked down a door to release the man.

Difficult words: dismiss (not take something seriously), prank (a joke).
