Explanation:

In paragraph 11 of Five Weeks in A Balloon by Jules Verne, we can see that the narrator is telling us of all the dangers that could have happened if they decided to walk instead of fly in a balloon, like: their beasts would have died, they would have been very tired, the humidity would drive them crazy, wild beasts and native tribes might have attacked them, etc.
