In 1971,a plane crashed in the Amazon jungle in Peru. Only one person survived. She was a 17- year-old German girl called Juliane Koepke. When the plane crashed,Juliane fell through the trees and landed on the ground. She did not wake up for a day. When she did,she had a terrible headache and a bad cut on her arm,but she could walk. She stood up and started to look for help,Soon Juliane realized that she was by herself in the jungle. She needed to find her way to a town or village, but how could she do that? She knew that the aeroplane had crashed in the middle of the largest jungle in the world.
Luckily,Juliane knew something about the jungle. Her parents were scientists. They were studying the jungle in Peru,and that is where Juliane grew up. She knew that the most important thing was to find fresh water. When Juliane found a stream,she followed it in the direction that the water was moving. She knew that the stream would become a river,and there were often villages near a river. It wasn't an easy journey for her. She walked for days. She often had to walk or swim through dangerous water full of crocodiles. When the animals attacked her,she fought them with stick.
Rescue planes were looking for people who were still alive after the accident,but after ten days,they decided to give up. They knew that they would never find anybody. Two days later,Juliane Koepke waked out of the jungle,hungry and very tired,but alive.
