This news is about a man. He is from India. He has a road accident. He gets better. He picks up a bad habit. He starts swallowing knives.
Some time later, he goes to hospital. He has a stomach ache. He does not tell the doctors about the knives. The doctors look inside his stomach. They see the knives.
The doctors ask the man about them. He says that there are 28 of them. Doctors operate on the man. They take out the knives. There are 40 of them.
Difficult words: pick up (start), habit (something that you regularly do), swallow (put something in your mouth and let it go down to your stomach).
