Joke: Rescue

（单词翻译:单击）

A troop of Boy Scouts2 was being used as "guinea pigs" in a test of emergency systems. A mock earthquake was staged, and the Scouts impersonated wounded persons who were to be picked up and cared for by the emergency units.

One Scout1 was supposed to lie on the ground and await his rescuers, but the first-aid people got behind schedule, and the Scout lay "wounded" for several hours.

When the first-aid squad3 arrived where the casualty was supposed to be, they found nothing but a brief note: "Have bled to death and gone home."
