'THE PROPHECY'

People who live in California have every reason to be afraid
earthquakes. No one has

ever forgotten the great quake that destroyed San Francisco
in 1906. In May,

1988, the people of Los Angeles panicked. a

prophecy made in the 16th

century by a prophet called Nostradamus, the city would be
destroyed early in 1988. During

the panic, parents didn't send their children

school and people didn't go to work. No one stayed

home, either. The airlines did great business
carrying people who

fled from their 'doomed city'. Which is more puzzling: how
Nostradamus knew that a city which

didn't even exist his time would be destroyed in

the 20th century, or the behaviour of the people who
believed 'the prophecy'?

A GOOD EYE FOR A LEFT EAR

My friend Jonathan, who lives the road,

develops and

prints films. According to Jonathan most of us take awful
pictures.

Usually, we fail to aim the subject so that the

subject is not

even in the picture. Sometimes the subject is too far

; sometimes too near. Some photos are spoilt
because the sun is in front of us, when of course, it should

always be us. Some of us take blank pictures

because we take the lens cover

after we have taken our shots. We take most of
our pictures

cameras before we go on holiday. A good book

photography would make us better at taking pictures, but
most of us are too lazy to bother. I asked Jonathan what was
the worst film he had ever seen. He didn't have to think very
hard about the question. At once he answered, 'Twenty-four
shots of the photographer's left ear!'

THE AMAZING FLYING HAT

She was a striking woman about 25, dressed for

the races. in her smart dress and fantastic hat made of

feathers, she drew admiring glances as she walked down the
street. Her hat attracted even more attention when a gust of
wind lifted it off her head and carried it

the air. We all stopped to watch as this amazing
hat flew over our heads.

People came out of buildings and into the street. The young
woman in the smart dress was as entertained as the rest of
us. Suddenly, the hat rested on top of a high building and we
lost sight of it. Then the wind lifted it up again. 'There it is!'

cried a man an umbrella. He jabbed

his umbrella at the sky above. Then an amazing thing
happened. The hat

simply disappeared! The mystery was solved when someone
shouted in a

loud voice. There was a tall yellow crane on top of a high
building and the crane

driver looked down at the crowd below, 'Lost your hat, missy'
the crane driver

cried and we all gasped surprise when we saw

that the hat had been caught by his crane!
IS THERE ANYBODY THERE?

A dentist in Bavaria has been haunted by a voice which
sweas at him all the time. The voice comes

light sockets, washbasins and the telephone. It is a sharp,

deep voice which laughs the dentist and mocks

him. The poor dentist is suffering a bad case of

nerves. Recently, the voice was recorded and

broadcast, so now everyone in Bavaria is looking for the
ghost,

People who don't

believe in ghosts think it is just a practical joke. The voice
always

shouts at the dentist, but speaks sweetly to his 17-year
old assistant, Claudia. But no one can blame Claudia for the
behaviour of the ghost or accuse her of playing tricks to her
poor boss. Engineers don't know what to make of it. 'He's a
technical genius,' one of them said. The ghost has

responded to all this activity by saying, in a thick Bavarian
accent, 'You'll never get
