Lesson28 No parking
Jasper White isone of those rare people who believes in ancient myths. He has just bought a newhouse in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars andtheir owners. When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone hasparked a car outside his gate. Because of this, he has not been able to get hisown car into his garage even once. Jasper has put up' No Parking' signs outsidehis gate, but these have not had any effect. Now he has put an ugly stone headover the gate. It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked himwhat it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. Jasper hopes thatshe will turn cars and their owners to stone. But none of them has been turnedto stone yet!
