Hint:
?Monsieur Philippe
When they found it, Monsieur Philippe went to work. Sounds never heard in the jungle followed and they successfully exploited the land for over $10 million worth of rare diamonds. Their return journey was as expedient as possible, so that they would not be expelled from the country without their prize. When they exposed the amount of diamonds that they had found at the border, however, they were given trouble. But the permit was explicit that they could take out whatever they found and they were released to return home. The border guards were furious, but their boss, the chief of police, was able to send his whole family to America the following year, never to return.
找到之后,菲力普先生就去工作了。接著叢林中響起了從未聽(tīng)到過(guò)的聲音,他們成功地開(kāi)發(fā)了這片土地,那上面的稀有鉆石價(jià)值超過(guò)1000萬(wàn)美元。他們往回撤的時(shí)候盡量舉止得當(dāng),以免被驅(qū)逐出境,空手而歸。但是,在邊境他們暴露了找到的鉆石的數(shù)量,結(jié)果遇到了麻煩。幸好許可證上明確地寫著他們可以將發(fā)現(xiàn)的任何東西帶出國(guó)境,于是他們被釋放回國(guó)。邊境警衛(wèi)大怒,但他們的上司——警察局長(zhǎng)卻于第二年將全家送到了美國(guó),而且他們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)回來(lái)了。
