  • Lesson 28 No Parking

  • What is Jasper White's problem?

  • Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths.

  • He has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners.

  • When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate.

  • Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once.

  • Jasper has put up 'No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect.

  • Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate.

  • It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen.

  • I asked him what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon.

  • Jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone.

  • But none of them has been turned to stone yet!
