Легкий текст, все понимаю, но совершенно не знаю где ставить False и No information. Спасибо.
A couple of years ago my friend Jack gave me a poster as a birthday present. It's an aerial photograph of a huge wave breaking around a lighthouse during a terrible storm. Standing in the doorway of the lighthouse is a man. (0)
I put the poster on my bathroom wall and I have looked at it almost every day since Jack gave it to me. I've seen postcards with the same picture, and a couple of my friends have the same poster. (1) One of my friends claimed that the man had been killed by the wave a few seconds after the photograph was taken. She said that this was common knowledge and that that was why the photograph was so popular.
I was horrified. It seemed terrible that someone would make money out of a photograph taken just before someone had died. Worse still, since it had been taken from the air, the photographer must have been safe in a helicopter. (2) The more I thought about it, the less comfortable I felt about the poster. Eventually, I took it down and put it in a cupboard.
Even though it wasn't on the wall any more I couldn't get it out of my mind. The photographer's name, Jean Guichard, was in small print just below the image and I decided to try to contact him. (3) Guichard himself seemed to have disappeared without trace and there was no way of getting in touch with him.
I did, however, find some information on a website about urban myths. (4) This site described the same story my friend had told me about the photographer capturing the last few seconds of the lighthouse keeper's life. A lot of people believed this story, and they had complained to the poster company about the publication of such a macabre image. I then followed the link to the poster company's webpage and it was there that I discovered the real story, which the company had published to stop the complaints.
Apparently the storm had lasted for days and the lighthouse keeper, Theodore Malgorne, was holding on, hoping the lighthouse would survive the strong waves. Malgorne had heard the noise of the helicopter, and was intrigued. In spite of the danger, he opened the door of the lighthouse to see who was flying by on such a terrible night. (5)
The poster company obviously thought that some people might not simply take their word for it. (6) There are two images: the one in the poster and a second one showing Malgorne stepping inside and closing the door. So that's one mystery solved. The really strange thing is that there's no information about Guichard, the photographer. Now I wonder what happened to him!
