Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome
to the nine o’clock Mystery Hour. Today we’ll show you two British stories. We
hope you’ll enjoy them.
About 900 years ago two green children
arrived in a small village in south England. Their eyes and skin were green and
they spoke a strange language. They were very tired and weak, so the people of
the village looked after them. The boy died a year later, but the girl grew
strong and lived the rest of her life there. And her skin color turned back to
normal day by day. Scientists say that sometimes of people don’t have enough
food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can turn green.
Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland. It’s
a very deep and cold lake. For hundreds of years, people have talked about a
monster(怪物) called Nessie
which lives in the lake. About seventy years ago, two people saw something
moving in the lake. They said that the animal was playing and rolling around in
the water. Since then many people say they have seen the monster. Their
descriptions are always the same. It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck
and a small head. It has a big bump(肿块)on its back.
People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very
clear. Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not. Some say it may
be a whale or a very large fish. Some think it’s a snake. Others say there’s
nothing at all— nothing but people’s imagination. Maybe we’ll never know what’s
in Loch Ness.
