<p>Pumas are large, cat-like animals which<br>
are found in America. When reports<br>
came into London Zoo that a wild puma<br>
had been spotted forty-five miles south of<br>
London, they were not taken seriously.<br>
However, as the evidence began to<br>
accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt<br>
obliged to investigate, for the descrip-<br>
tions given by people who claimed to<br>
have seen the puma were extraordinarily<br>
similar. <br>
The hunt for the puma began in a<br>
small village where a woman picking<br>
blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five<br>
yards away from her. It immediately ran<br>
away when she saw it, and experts<br>
confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is
cornered. The<br>
search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one
place in the<br>
morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever
it<br>
went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like
rabbits. Paw<br>
prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging
to<br>
bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night
and a business-<br>
man on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now
fully<br>
convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from
? As no<br>
pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this
one must<br>
have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed
to<br>
escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not
caught. It is<br>
disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large
in the quiet<br>
countryside.</p>

<p>Our vicar is always raising money for one<br>
cause or another, but he has never<br>
managed to get enough money to have<br>
the church clock repaired. The big clock<br>
which used to strike the hours day and<br>
night was damaged during the war and<br>
has been silent ever since.<br>
' One night, however, our vicar woke up<br>
with a start: the clock was striking the<br>
hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that<br>
it was one o'clock, but the bell struck<br>
thirteen times before it stopped. Armed<br>
with a torch, the vicar went up into the<br>
clock tower to see what was going on. In<br>
the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure<br>
whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.<br>
'Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?' asked the vicar in surprise.<br>
' I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill.' I've been coming
up here night<br>
after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.'<br>
'You certainly did give me a surprise!'said the vicar. 'You've probably<br>
woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad the bell
is working<br>
again.'<br>
'That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all right,
but I'm<br>
afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's
nothing 1 can<br>
do about it.'<br>
'we'll get used to that Bill,' said the vicar. 'Thirteen is not
as good as one<br>
but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a
cup of tea.'</p>

<p>Some time ago，an interesting discovery<br>
was made by archaeologists on the Aegean<br>
island of Kea．An AmeriCan team ex-<br>
plored a temple which stands in an<br>
ancient city on the promontory of Ayia<br>
Irini．The city at one time must have<br>
been prosperous，for it enjoyed a high<br>
level of civilization．Houses--often three<br>
storeys high--were built of stone．They<br>
had large rooms with beautifully decor－<br>
ated walls．The city was even equipped<br>
with a drainage system，for a great many<br>
clay pipes were found beneath the narrow<br>
streets．<br>
The temple which the archaeologists<br>
explored was used as a place of worship<br>
from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times. In the most sacred
room of<br>
the temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of
these repre-<br>
sented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of
one statue<br>
was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C. Its
missing<br>
head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C.;This
head must<br>
have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was
very old and<br>
precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments,
they<br>
were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking<br>
woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hip.
She was<br>
wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her
great age,she<br>
was very graceful indeed, but, so far,the archaeologists have been
unable to<br>
discover her identity.</p>

<p>These days, people who do manual work<br>
often receive far more money than clerks<br>
who work in offices. People who work in<br>
offices are frequently referred to as' white<br>
collar workers' for the simple reason that<br>
they usually wear a collar and tie to go to<br>
work. Such is human nature, that a great<br>
many people are often willing to sacrifice<br>
higher pay for the privilege of becoming<br>
white collar workers. This can give rise to<br>
curious situations, as it did in the case of<br>
Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the <br>
Ellesmere Corporation.<br>
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed <br>
to say anything to his wife about his job. He <br>
simply told her that he worked for the <br>
Corporation. Every morning, he left home <br>
dressed in a fine blacksuit. He then changed <br>
into overalls and spent the next eight hours <br>
as a dustman. Before returning home at night, <br>
he took a shower and changed back into his suit. <br>
Alf did this for over two years and his fellow <br>
dustmen kept his secret. AlF's wife has never <br>
discovered that she married a dustman and she <br>
never will, for Alf has just found another job. <br>
He will soon be working in an office as a junior <br>
clerk. He will be earning only half as much as <br>
he used to, but he feels that his rise in status <br>
is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he <br>
will wear a suit all day and others will call him <br>
'Mr Bloggs', not 'Alf'.</p>

<p>Editors of newspapers and magazines<br>
Often go to extremes to provide their<br>
readers with unimportant facts and statis-<br>
tics. Last year a journalist had been<br>
instructed by a well-known magazine to<br>
write an article on the president's palace<br>
in a new African republic. When the<br>
article arrived, the editor read the first<br>
sentence and then refused to publish it.<br>
The article began: 'Hundreds of steps<br>
lead to the high wall which surrounds the<br>
president's palace.' The editor at once<br>
sent the journalist a telegram instructing<br>
him to find out the exact number of steps<br>
and the height of the wall. <br>
The journalist immediately set out to<br>
obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them.
Meanwhile,<br>
the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine woul1d soon go
