SO one should know what 1t feels
like for some who lost their
homes. Some even lost their
lives because of a big wind that
made rivers and oceans flood
out many areas.
Francis wilson,
Ben-Hur
Ben-Hur is one of the best
books I have ever read. Written
in 1880, 1t has been a best seller
for 83 years
The author Of Ben Hur was the
famous ctvil-war hero; General
Lew Wallace.
The story of Ben FIur is about
Jewish prince who was be-
trayed by a friend. He was SEN
fenced to the Roman Galleys as
rover because of an acciden-
tai attempt on a Roman gov
ernor.
During the time that Ben-Hur
was sentenced, Jesus was grow
ing up and starting to preach.
In fact, when Ben-Hur was
marched to the Roman water
front, Jesus gave him water to
drink, when he was mad with
thirst.
Will Ben survive from the
galleys? What happened to Ben
Hur's family? We're they i'm
prisoned too? All of these ques-
tionS can be answered by read
ing Ben-Hur.
If you like stories of adven-
lures that will bring tears to
the eyes, you will enjoy this
book. Kathy Jeffer son
Great Gravity The Cat
Gravity was very contented
cat who lived In a comfortable
apartment In New York with a
nice couple to keep house for
him. His mother had taught him
the secret when he was only q
kitten, giving him that special
power which made him master
over humans. The Hunter, who
pretended he preferred living
In the great outdoors and hunt
ing for his food in the park,
didn't believe In the secret, anC
just ignored it.
One day, however, Gravity's
cosy existence was turned topsy-
l| turvy by the arrival of baby
There we're no more tasty chick
en- livers; his favorite chairs
were always covered with
loundry; and he was even locked
into a cupboard by mistake.
His couple left him no other
choice = Gravity went out to joir
The Hunter.
