When a plane from London arrived at Sydney airport, workers began to unload a
number of wooden boxes which contained clothing. No one could account for the
fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy. It suddenly occurred to one of
the workers to open up the box. He was astonished at what he found. A man was
lying in the box on top of a pile of woollen goods. He was so surprised at
being discovered that he did not even try to run away. After he was arrested,
the man admitted hiding in the box before the plane left London. He had had a
long and uncomfortable trip, for he had been confined to the wooden box for
over ten hours. The man was ordered to pay 3,500 pounds for the cost of the
trip. The normal price of a ticket is 2,000 pounds!&
