28 No parking
Jasper White is one of those rare people who believe in ancient myths. He has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with motorists. 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 motorists to stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet!


28 Jasper White is a very superstitious person who believes in old myths. He got trouble getting his car into the garage of his new house as the road outside the garage is always blocked by other cars. He tried to put up“no parking” signs, but it was no use. So, he just put an ugly stone head outside the door. He hopes the Gorgon, Medusa, will turn the motorists into stones. But so far, none of them has been turned to stone yet.
