The Floods 1

My Favourite part was when Betty Flood is trying to scare her neighbour out of her house.
She is a witch and she turns him into a fridge by mistake. She was telling him to be very afraid

Mysteries of the Unexplained: Beyond the walls of time

By Readers Digest


My favourite part of the section was when the Oracle of Delphi
says to a man to beware the tortoise.
The man was Aeschylus the man

who invented the play and he was killed by an eagle
that saw his bald head shining in the sun.
The eagle thought it was a rock and dropped it on
his head.
