But Ebrel stood her ground. Sure enough, a moment after the sound came, a puff of air and a sense of something big and all-too-real fled past her. Though it was almost too quick to see, she caught the definite sweep of big, brownish wings and huge dark eyes. “Tom, you fool. That was no ghost. Have you never glimpsed an owl before?” “No, mistress. They belong in the woodland, not here.” “They nest wherever they please,” she explained. “And since they are nocturnal, they fly only in darkness. That is why you have never seen it.” She slapped him gently on the shoulder. “Come. Your ghost is banished. At least until sunrise, and then you will not see him, for he will sleep in the daylight.” “Thank you!” he said with sincerity. People in that long-ago time were ready to believe anything out of the ordinary. They were even more ready to repeat the story. After that evening, the tale of The Night of the Ghost was born.

No, never mind—''ll tell you what Youte doing tomorrow.” Rapidly, Ed explained an opportunity for Joel to sing in public.

Joel hung up and told his parents what had happened. Then he went back upstairs and sat staring at his homework. The idea that he'd passed up the chance of a lifetime haunted him through school the next day. After school, his cell phone rang. “I'm not asking you," Ed said without mentioning what the topic might be. “I'm telling you. Ask your Dad to lend you a suit and get yourself down here.” “But what if —" “You won't. The producer's heard that demo tape} we made. He won't accept anyone else.” Joel and his father drove downtown to the arena. Joel's nerves were back and stronger than ever, Once on stage, Joel felt as if he might get sick. But once the orchestra began to play, he forgot about everything else. He began to sing, and although he knew he made a few mistakes, he also knew he'd cone his best. Ed beamed at him when Joel put down the microphone and stepped out of the spotlight. Dad had a big, silly smile on his face. Ed smiled still more widely. “Il knew you could bring it.

Then angy, questions that follow. Lame Eleni In 1947, people all over the country were testing new types of aircraft, including jets and even rocket-propelled airplanes. Every pilot knew that airplanes could not trave| faster than “the sound barrier"—about 750 miles per hour, also known as “Mach 1.” So far, no pilot who had tried to push that barrier had survived. At Muroc Air Force Base in California, a brand-new type of plane appeared. The X1, made by the Bell Aircraft Company, was a type of plane called “experimental.” This was because nobody knew whether it would fly faster than any human had ever flown before. It Closely resembled a bullet with wings, because bullets are designed to fly faster than sound. The Air Force assigned one of its best pilots to fly if, Captain Chuck Yeager. Since they didn't give him much notice about the x1 flight, he'went out horseback riding with some friends two nigi before. He was thrown from the horse and broke two ribs. By the morning of the flight, his broken ribs hadn't healed. He didn't tell his SUperiors for fear they wouldn't let him fly. The plan said the X1 would be dropped froma SF the EJ1M3.5B-29 bomber airplane flying at a high altitude. In his characteristic West Virginia accent, he said he'd give it a try. Since nobody had broken the sound barrier in a plane before, the flight was considered extremely dangerous. ‘Many pilots have beliefs about “lucky" airplanes. Yeager told his wife, “Any plane with your name on it always brings me home." So he had his wife's name painted on the nose of the X1, giving the plane its nickname “Glamorous Glennis.” In the X1, Yeager dropped from underneath the B-29 bomber. At an altitude of 45,000 feet, the X1 broke the sound barrier. The flight created a sonic boom—the first ever heard that was made by an airplane in flight. Yeager landed “Glamorous Glennis” safely on the dry salt bed, the base used as a runway. He rolled the X1 to a stop and climbed out of the cockpit a hero.

Then answer the | questions that follow. | The King and His Promises Everyone agrees King John of England in the thirteenth century was a terrible king. Mean-spirited, crude and disrespectful to his people, he's remembered as the “bad king” of the Robin Hood stories. In England at that time, there was no written agreement about how the country's government should be run. They had no Constitution, no = Bill of Rights and nothing more than the —~ custom of the land to guide the king's decisions. However, this formless government was undergoing an evolution. In the early 1200s, the barons or noblemen of England, who held positions of power less than the king's, were very irritated about the king's habits of taking barons' land without reason and manrying off rich widows to men who were not seen as worthy. After a lot of talk and a great deal of yelling, the barons grew closer to being of one mind. Like the people of the developing towns, the king should be subject to]some form of written agreement. At this time, towns were being granted agreements called charters that confirmed the rights that the king had agreed to. These charters protected both sides—the EJIM5.6town could not abuse the king's rights, and he could not violate theirs. All of the barons agreed that nobody should be deprived of his lands or his freedom without a trial. Warrior-barons shouldn't be required to fight in foreign wars. They also agreed that women had their own special rights and should not be required to marry a man outside their class, just because the | king owed him a favor or held a grudge. The document took some months to be written in its entirety. King John knew about it and remained aloof, confident these barons could never agree. He was sure it would come to nothing in the end. However, after numerous versions of the barons' document went back and forth between barons and king, they talked His Majesty into meeting them at a meadow outside London. On June 15, 1215, the barons took one side of the field called Runnymede and glared across the grass at the king's party. There, together they signed the document known as Magna Carta, or The Great Charter. It was a moment in history that was very important for England, and later, for the United States. In fact, many of the ideas in Magna Carta were included in our own Constitution and Bill of Rights.
