A puma

A Puma at large

Puma is a large cat-like animal which are found in America, when reports came into Landon Zoo that a wild puma was spotted 45miles south of Landon, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidences began to accumulate, the experts from Landon Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions by people who claimed to see the puma was extradenarly simlar. The hunt of the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackbarreies saw a big cat, only five yards away from her. It immedately run away when she saw it. And experts confirmed that puma will not attact human being unless it is concored. The search proved difficult, for the puma was always observed one place morning, and another place 20 miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left it a train of dead deer or small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in number of places and puma fur were cling to the bushes. Selver people complained the cat-like noises at night, and a business man in the fish trip saw a puma up a tree. The experts now were fully convinced that the animal was puma, but where have it came from, as no puma has been reported missing from any Zoo in the country. This one must be in possision of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that the dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quit countryside.

Thirteen equals one

Our vicar is always raising money for a cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been slient ever since.

One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start, the clock was striking the hours. Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o’clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, our vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight , he caught sight of a figure whom he immedelatly recognized as Bill Wilkings, our grocer. Whatever are you doing up here, asked vicar in surprise. I am trying to repair the bell, answer Bill. I have been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was going to give you a surprise. You sertainly did give me a surprise, said the vicar. You have probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I am glad that the bell is working again. But the trouble is, answered Bill, the bell is working all right, but I’m afraid that at one o’clock it will strick thirteen
