A man falls out of his plane and falls back into it again. Two people row a small boat from New York to England in 56 days. One person is so big, he wouldn't fit in any hospital room. Would you believe these stories? Well, they may sound strange but they did happen. James Cornell has more strange but true stories like these in a book called Very Strange People.

　　Here is part of the table of contents of Very Strange People. The table of contents lists the names of the chapters(章，篇) or parts of the book. It also tells on what page each chapter begins.

　　Unlike many reference materials, the table of contents is not arranged alphabetically. The chapters are listed in the order that they appear in the book.
