Sweet as honey! Sweet as honey!
Hatheld puff is a modern airplane, but its designer, Mr. John Wimpenny, found it difficult to get it to take off. The reason for this is that this plane is also a bicycle. The pilot has to pedal hard to make it fly. After Mr. Winpenny built the plane, he gave it a thorough test. 196 1 year, it is the first human plane to fly half a mile. When 1963 was driven by an amateur cycling champion, the plane crashed in an airport. Since then, Mr. Winnipeg has rebuilt it. He increased the length of his wings, which are now 93 feet long. Almost as long as the Dakota dragon Many people show interest in this new and unusual sport. However, although air cyclists may learn how to fly short distances, and may even eventually fly across the English Channel, it is doubtful whether they can fly across the Atlantic Ocean.
1963, a Lancaster bomber was destroyed on Wallis Island. It is a very remote island in the South Pacific, located in the west of Samoa, with a long distance between the islands. The damage of the plane is not serious, but the plane crash has been forgotten for many years and the wreckage of the plane has not been damaged. So, at 1989, 26 years after the plane crashed, the plane was accidentally discovered in the aerial survey of the island. By that time, Lancaster bombers in excellent condition were rare and worth preserving. The French government packed the plane and shipped it back to France part by part. A group of enthusiasts plan to modify this plane. The plane is equipped with four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, but they only need to correct three of them. Think about the surprise and excitement they feel? When they opened the box, they found that the fourth engine was as sweet as honey? The engine is intact. A group of bees regarded the engine as a hive, and the engine was well preserved in beeswax.
Volcano volcano
Polish scientist Haroun Tazieff has been studying active volcanoes and deep caves all over the world all his life. 1948, he went to Lake Kivu in Congo to observe a new volcano, which he later named Kituro. When the volcano erupted violently, Tateev was able to camp near the volcano. Although he managed to take some wonderful photos, he couldn't stay near the volcano for long. He noticed a stream of magma coming towards him. It almost surrounded him, but Tateev managed to escape in time. He waited until the volcano calmed down and returned two days later. This time, he managed to climb into the crater of Kituro, so that he could take photos and measure the temperature. Tateev often risks his life like this. He can tell us more about active volcanoes than anyone alive.

When the volcano erupts violently, Tateev has a way to set up a tent near the volcano. Although he managed to take some wonderful photos, he couldn't stay near the volcano for long. He found a lava flowing towards him, and he was about to be surrounded, but Tateev managed to escape in time. He was calmer than the volcano and came back two days later.

Lesson 70 Red stands for danger
In a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk didn't realize the danger. At that time, the bull was busy dealing with the matador, but it suddenly saw the drunk, who was shouting rude words and waving a red hat. The bull is obviously sensitive to criticism. It completely forgets the matador and rushes to the drunk. The crowd suddenly became quiet. However, the drunk seems to have confidence in himself. When the bull approached him, he clumsily dodged to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. However, at this time, three men walked into the boxing ring, and they quickly dragged the drunk to a safe place. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, because it looked at the drunk sympathetically and turned its attention to the matador again until he left.

Obviously, the bull, who is very sensitive to picking fights, put down the matador completely and went straight to the drunk. The audience suddenly quieted down, but the drunk seemed to be in control. When the bull approached him, he staggered around and flashed. The cow was empty. The audience cheered and the drunk bowed to us. However, at this moment, three people had entered the bullring, and the drunk was quickly pulled to a safe place. Even the cow felt sorry for him, because it always looked at the drunk piteously until his back disappeared, and then turned its attention to the matador from the beginning.
