The man who flew with a... tornado

Maybe 19 years old high school student Matt Sutter

from Mizouri, USA had never flown on an
aeroplane but surely a lot of people were jealous
of his flight!

It was March 2006 and Matt had visited his

grandmother in her trailer. Earlier this day the
weather was very good but the night the sky was
full of grey clouds, it was raining and stong winds
were beating the trailer. Then, Matt heard a loud noise like ten airplanes together. Suddenly, walls started
shaking. Matt tried to hold himself to the sofa but he felt like something lift him up and take him out of the
trailer...
After that, Matt was in the middle of a field. The tornado threw him 400 meters away from her
grandmother's trailer. He had a head trauma and some small lacerations on his body. A neighbor helped
him to come back to the trailer.
Matt was very lucky and he was the only person who “travelled” a big distance on a tornado.

BAD HABITS
There are many harmful
habits for people such as
drugs. Smoking, however, I
think is the worst and we all
know that together with
drinking is one of the most
deadly combinations. The
average smoker smokes 1 to
1.5 packets a day.
Unfortunately, there are
addicted people who smoke
up to 3 packages! You know
that a non-smoker heart is
red and healthy, while a
regular smoker’s is black
and sick. A man somewhere
in America lived happily with
his wife and son but within
two months he was lying
dead in hospital because he
smoked 2 full packs a day.
This is a case that every
smoker must know.

best moment in her carreer. Then, she became European Champion
in 2016 at the European Championship in Amsterdam with a 4,81
meters jump, European Champion in the European Championship
Indoor in 2017 with a 4,85 meters jump and World Champion at the
World Championship in London in 2017 with a 4,91 meters jump.
This performance had as a result her reaching the fourth position.
After that, in 2016, she came third at the World Championship
Indoor and second in 2014 and 2015 both at the European
Championship Indoor.
All Greek people are very proud of her, and we are waiting her for
the next success!
My first dog
One of my favorite dog breeds is the Labrador, like my first
dog! His name was Lord and I loved him very much but
unfortunately he was lost and
we didn't find him. He was a
wonderful and obedient dog.
We had him since he was
two months old and was lost
when he was three years old.
I was very sad when I saw
he was no longer in the
garden of my house, but
after a year we got another
dog and I was very happy. I
often see photos with him
and I remember the days
when we played together. I
hope someone has found
him and takes good care of
him just like I did!

RECIPE FOR PANCAKES
INGREDIENTS
200 gr yogurt,1 egg,1 spoon of salt,1 spoon of vanilla extract,50 gr
granulated sugar,120 gr self raising flour ,1 spoon of soda,1 tbsp.
butter,honey for serving
EXECUTION
In a bowl, put the yogurt, egg, spoon, 1 pinch of salt, 1 tsp.
vanilla extract, and 50 g sugar. Mix everything together very
 well with a hand-wired wire until homogeneously mix.

Add the flour and 1 tsp. soda and mix with the wire equally to mix.

Heat a non-stick pan with a diameter of 30 cm in moderate heat.

Add 1 tbsp. butter and do not cook in high heat to avoid burning pancakes.

Place in pan 3 full of spoonfuls of dough leaving a gap between them as they will spread as they are
cooked.

We check the edges and when the pancakes are caramelized on the one side (this is what we will
understand when it peels off the bottom of the pan), with the help of a metal spatula we turn them on
the other side. We will need 2-3 minutes for each side.

Transfer the ready pancakes to a dish and add honey or toppings of your choice.
