“It is finished”, he said, “and I’m brilliant. Brilliant and clever. And he is beautiful!”
Doctor Frankenstein looked at his work. On the table was a man. He was very big, over two and
a half metres tall and he wasn’t beautiful at all. In fact he was
extremely ugly.
“My friends made fun of me when I said I could invente a man”, said Frankenstein, “but I was
right! I was right!”
The man’s body was big and his legs were fat. His arms were too long, they touched his knees.
He had two left feet. They were enormous. The head was huge with a small mouth and short black hair.
His face was yellow. His skin was like leather and his ears, one big and one small, were purple. His eyes
were closed.
“What a lot of work”, thought Frankenstein. “A year’s work, but I’m satisfied. A year of experiments and
sleepless nights. But now, I’m ready for the final test!
Everyday I went to the hospitals to buy bodies. When there weren’t any, I went to the cemeteries.
I went to every town in the district. But it was very difficult. Some people are short and some are tall. Some
are fat, others are thin. Why can’t people be the same size?”[...]
“Now, all I need is a storm. A storm that will produce enough electricity to put life into my
creature. Then my experiment will be complete. He will be good, kind and very intelligent, like me! I will be
famous! I’ll be in all the newspapers! I will probably get the Nobel Prize!” SHELLEY, M. Frankenstein. Richmond
readers, 2005. p. 2-8. Adapted.

When Carrie entered the room, her sister Debra showed her a list of names.
“Here’s the list you asked for: some friends to invite to your birthday party”.
Carrie took the paper and read the list. “You forgot Paul’s name,” she said.
“Are you going to invite Paul to your party?” Debra asked, surprised.
“Of course I am. What’s the problem?”
“Nobody invites Paul to parties. He’s strange.”
“What do you mean, strange?” Carrie cried. “He’s my friend. We always walk home
from school together, and we talk a lot. He’s a little shy, I guess. But shyness doesn’t
make anyone strange.”
Debra stood up.
“Well, it’s your birthday party. You may invite anyone you want, even the Big Bad
Wolf. But Paul… parties aren’t his kind of thing. He won’t come.”
“We’ll see about that,” Carrie said.
“Yes, we’ll see.”
Carrie stayed in the room after Debra left. She didn’t like her sister’s attitude. It wasn’t
fair! A lot of people at school avoided Paul because of his quiet ways. But she liked his
company. What if he was kind of scatterbrained? Nobody was perfect.
“Paul will come on Saturday, I’m sure. Debra will see. They all will see! He’s not
strange!”
However, it was only Tuesday, and there were some really strange things coming her
way before Saturday...
