How did the accident happen?
Put the sentences in the correct order.
On that day, Aron’s arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock when he was
climbing by himself.
So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm.
He couldn’t free his arm, and stayed there for 5 days.
Then, he bandaged himself so that he wouldn’t lose too much blood.
When the water ran out, he had to do something to save his life.
After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help.
