英语晨读精华 Week 1 Day 3 Tall Tale 吹牛
A friend told me this story. He can stretch the truth a bit, so I’m not sure whether to believe him. But on the other hand, truth can be stranger than fiction! What do you think?
Two brothers were watching a horror film on video late one night. One brother dozed off and dreamed that he was being chased by the crazy man from the movie, who was trying to kill him. In the dream, he hid in a cupboard. There was no sound except his heart pounding, and he had no idea where his crazed captor was. He was terrified! At that moment, the video finished, and his brother put his hand on the shoulder of his sleeping sibling to wake him. The shock at that tense moment was enough that the sleeping brother suffered a massive heart attack and died instantly.
