r t Of The Futu
Is this the future?
Every day we use cars, buses, bikes and trains to get around. But how will
we travel in the future? We asked three experts for their predictions.

‘I think we’ll use small flying machines, like the Jetson,’ says scientist
David Harris. ‘The Jetson is like an alien spaceship, but it’ll fly like a
helicopter. It’ll travel three metres above the ground and people
will take off and land in their gardens. The Jetson will be easy to
fly too. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!’

‘Future transport won’t pollute,’ says Dr Klein from the Science

Museum. ‘The i-unit is a good example of this type of transport.
There won’t be any pollution because it’s electric, and it’ll be
quiet because it’s very small. Will this be the transport of the
future? I hope so. But will drivers wear the funny i-unit suit
too? Let’s wait and see!’

‘Traffic jams will be a big problem,’ predicts Professor Field, ‘but they won’t be a
problem if you’ve got a Light-Sport Aircraft. If you’re in a rush, you can get out of
the car, fold out its wings and fly into the air. Easy! It’s a big improvement on
other ideas for future transport because it’s a car and a plane. We’ll
probably see the Light-Sport Aircraft in the shops soon. Start saving
your money because it won’t be cheap!’

 The Magic Amule t
1
Ra: I don’t believe it! You touched the amulet!
Holly: I’m sorry … but where are we?
Ra: I’ll tell you where – we’re in ancient Egypt!
Max: No chance!
Ra: And we’re here because you didn’t listen.
Holly: Look! The half amulet! I’m wearing it!
Ra: Yes, and we’re going to find the other half.
Holly: Is the amulet magic?

32

Ra: Many years ago the amulet belonged to a great Pharaoh.
It was magic and very powerful. Bad people tried to kill the
Pharaoh and take the amulet’s power, so the Pharaoh broke
the amulet in two. The Pharaoh hid half of the amulet to save
his kingdom.
Ra: We can’t go back to our time with half an amulet.
Max: But how are we going to find the other half?
Ra: Well, we aren’t going to stay here! We’re going to
walk to those pyramids. Then you’re going to look for it!
Max: Ow! My foot!

Holly: Poor Max! He can’t walk.

Ra: Hey, there’s a taxi and it’s going
to town.
Holly: Come on, Max. Are you going
to get on?
Max: This won’t be comfortable.
