The Adventures of Lara Cruft

Episode 5: Phrasal verbs with Put

They looked for the cave all day. Mrs Bluebottle was tired and unhappy, she had put on weight and was very unfit. It was difficult to put up with her constant complaining. William showed no sympathy, he kept putting her down. Saying she was a silly old lady. When she couldn’t put up with him any longer she hit him over the head with her handbag. It was a big handbag. He finally came round twenty minutes later! Finally they came to the end of the cave. There was a small dark hole. What should they do, go on or turn back? Bill couldn’t make up his mind. William said it was dangerous to go pot holing with out the necessary equipment, but that didn’t put Lara off. Nothing was going to put her off finding the city of Gold, not Mrs Bluebottle, William, or Bill. They heard the men with guns getting nearer. Lara got out her mobile phone, it worked. She rang her friend the Mayor of Cairo. She got his secretary to put her through to him They were old friends, she always put him up when he was in London. She explained the situation, and he said he would send for help. The police would be there ASAP. Now we go into the hole, said Lara.
