AMELIA EARHART
Amelia Earhart was born on July, 24th, 1897 in Atchison, Kansas, United-States. Her mother was the first woman to climb Pikes Peak. The Earhart family often moved, and she graduated from high school in Chicago in 1916. In the 1920s, she moved to Massachusetts. For a while she studied medicine, but at age 23 she went on her first airplane ride and this experience prompted her to take flying lessons. In 1921, she bought her first plane and two years later, in 1923, she earned her pilot’s license. Amelia Earhart was a reckless student and after the first of several plane crashes rescuers found her calmly powdering her nose.
In 1931, she married Georges Putnam, who was a book publisher.
In 1932, she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic alone and in 1937 she became the first person to fly solo from Los Angeles to Mexico City. Later the same year, she set out to fly around the world but after more than two thirds of the distance her plane disappeared.
Most experts believe that Earhart’s plane crashed in the Pacific after running out of fuel. Recently explorers who were investigating about her disappearance found bits of woman's clothing on a remote island in the South Pacific, catalyzing clues as to what may have been the final of Amelia Earhart.

One evening, a 99-year-old man was watching a very interesting football match when suddenly he heard someone say “Boo!” He went outside.
He asked Jack Sparrow, “Someone said Boo! Was it you?”
”No, I don’t boo”, answered Jack.
“I say Yo-ho-ho!”
The old man followed a skeleton.
“Someone said boo! Was it you?”
”No, I don’t boo!” said the skeleton.
“I say chiki-chiki!”
The old man met a black cat.
“Someone said boo! Was it you?”
”I don’t boo!" said the black cat. I meooow!”
Suddenly the old man saw a little ghost.
“Someone said boo! Was it you?”
“Yes”, said the little ghost, “I said boo.”
“But why?”, asked the 99-year-old man.
“Because today's Halloween! Boooo!”

Carlos has a friend. His friend is very famous. He's a star. Carlos’s best friend is Ryan Gosling. They met in KFC three years ago when Carlos was fat. Both of them loved ice-cream from KFC.
But two years ago, everything changed. Carlos lost 152kg and got thin and handsome.
Since then, the best friends have had issues. Why? Because Ryan feels very jealous. He wants to lose weight too, but he can’t. He can’t stop eating sweets.
Carlos loves his friend. He wants to help him. Carlos knows the secret of how to stop eating sweets. He knows a very good doctor — a professional hypnotist. To see that doctor, you need to know a secret password: chocolate pigeon hair.
So Ryan goes to the doctor, says the secret password, and the doctor hypnotizes him. Now every time Ryan eats sweets, his teeth hurt.
Ryan gets really scared. He's afraid of pain. He decides to stop eating sweets. Moreover, the doctor is very expensive and Ryan has to give him all his money. (Ryan pays doctor the $50,000 😱) He doesn’t have any more money to buy sweets.
In one month, Ryan Gosling loses 71.5kg! His body gets fit and strong. And he and Carlos are very good friends again. Hurray!
