Passage One

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldnt 1 . What was the worst was that he found himself unable to ask for help — his mobile phone went out of 2 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to 3 in cold wilderness. It was eight hours later that day broke, and then 4 of the rescue.
