THE PERFECT CRIME

Alice Jackson's husband, Henry, was a man of habit. So it was that at exactly six o'clock in the evening she was in the
kitchen getting a beer for him out of the fridge and watching him walk up the path.
She was smiling. Today the routine was going to be different It was their tenth wedding
anniversary, and some friends were coming round for drinks at 8.00. There was a big
ice statue of a couple kissing in the middle of the table in the living room, with twenty
glasses waiting for the guests. Alice was looking forward to the evening.
She was very happy. She had a beautiful baby sleeping upstairs, a lovely home, and a
husband who she adored
Henry opened the door and came into the kitchen. She turned round to kiss him and
give him his beer. 'Sit down,' Henry said. 'I've got something to say. Alice had no idea
that in the next two minutes her whole life was going to change.
'I'm sorry,' he said. 'And it's our anniversary, as well. But it's just that Kathy and I are
in love. Bobby won't miss me, he's too young.'
She didn't believe her ears. She was in a dream. 'I'll get ready for the party,' she said.
She walked into the living room. When she returned, Henry was standing with his back
to her, drinking his beer She was carrying something heavy. He turned. 'What on earth
... ?' These were Henry Jackson's last words His wife hit him over the head.
At first he didn't move, then he tell to the floor. Suddenly Alice began to think very
clearly. She took the ice statue back to the living room, and phoned the police.
Then she turned up the central heating, and went upstairs to put on some make-up. The police came quickly. 'Is he all
right?' she asked. 'He's dead. Alice screamed. 'No, no, not Henry! My Henry! Oh Henry!' Through her tears she told how
she put the baby to bed, and came downstairs to find Henry on the kitchen floor. 'Burglars,' said Detective Parry. They
took her into the living room. 'Sit down, Mrs Jackson. Sergeant Taylor, get Mrs Jackson a drink. A brandy with some ice.
 5

Phew! It's hot in this room. I hope you understand, Mrs Jackson, that we have to search the house immediately. We must
find the murder weapon. The room was getting hotter. Suddenly an arm fell off the ice statue onto the table. It was melting.
Sergeant Taylor went to the statue and picked up the melting arm. He broke it into bits and put some into Alice's brandy.
'Phew! Can I have a glass of water, Mrs Jackson? It's so hot in here.' 'I think we all need one,' said the detective. 'And
with ice.' They were all very hot and thirsty. Alice's friends arrived. 'Poor Alice! Poor Henry!' They cried, and they tried
to comfort her. 'Oh, thank you, thank you,' sobbed Alice. 'Please ... stay and have a drink. Help yourselves.' They all had
drinks - gin and tonic, whisky - and they all had ice. The statue was now nearly a pool of water on the floor. 'I wonder
what the burglar hit him with,' said one guest. 'Who knows?' said another, taking a sip of her drink. Alice heard this
conversation, and smiled into her brandy.

The Coca-Cola story begins in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1886. John S. Pemberton invents a new drink. Two of the ingredients are the South
American coca leaf and the African cola nut. Pemberton can’t think of a good name for the drink. Finally, Dr. Pemberton’s partner
Frank M. Robinson suggests the name of Coca Cola and writes the new name in a special way, and that becomes the famous
trademark.
Thirty years later the famous Coca-Cola bottle design first appears. The style of the bottle and the trademark are very important for
the success of the drink.
For many years, they make only Coca-Cola. They only introduce new drinks (Fanta, Sprite and TAB) in the 1960’s and Diet Coke in
1982.
