Lesson 28

No parking



Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes

in ancient myths. he has just bought a new house in the

city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble

with cars and their owners. When he returns home at

night, he always finds that someone has parked a car

outside his gate. Because of this, he has not been able

to get his own car into his garage even once. Jasper

has put up 'No Parking' signs outside his gate, but

these have not had any effect. Now he has put an ugly

stone head over the gate. It is one of the ugliest

faces I have ever seen. I asked him what it was and he

told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. jasper hopes

that she will turn cars and their owners to stone. But

none of them has been turned to stone yet!
