19.Mum,Helen Clements,described how her fun family trip to Longleat Safari Park turned into a nightmare as their car caught fire while they were surrounded by killer beasts.
The story happened when the group reached the lions'area during a visit to the park.Just as they came up to a group of 12lions,smoke suddenly began to come out of the engine.Helen was so scared that she pressed the horn to ask for help from the park workers,but then flames started to appear.The family was then faced with the dilemma of staying inside the car away from the lions or escaping the deadly fire.
Fortunately,the lions were led into a night-time enclosure(围墙)by the workers as the family made their escape from the car.With the family sent to the safety of the park office,the roads were cleared of cars so the fire service could put out the fire.No one was injured in any way and no lions were hurt.Helen said that it was not the workers'fault.She said,"They were great."
Today speaking of the experience,Helen said:"Looking back at it,we can laugh,but at the time it was frightening.I think,Oh my goodness.Why did it happen in the lion enclosure?Why not while we were at the penguins,or the kangaroos?When the car was filled with more and more smoke and the flames were getting bigger.I was thinking about explosions,just like in films.Luckily we didn't think about the lions.The cars in front of us were kind of sheltering us from them,so we didn't really see how close they were.If we had been just 50yards further along,it would have been a different story."
