#128 Dangerous (Theme #74)

This picture should be enlarged to see the poorly drawn details of this dangerous experience. A couple weeks ago, we were on our way to our son's piano recital. As we approached this yard, a man was riding his lawnmower up the grassy bank (see poorly drawn arrow by skid marks in the dirt). My husband and I both said at about the same time--"that looks dangerous!" About that time, the mower flipped over--trapping the man underneath it--right near the drop off to the ditch below (see poorly drawn illustration). We stopped--another vehicle who saw it also stopped--and helped the man get from under the mower and back up the bank. His arms were scratched up (which he said was from mowing around trees) and he seemed a bit shaken up. Just a bit further, and he and the mower would have gone over the ledge to the ditch--a drop of 8 or 10 feet--doubtful he would have walked away (even shakily) from that.

#125 Magical (Theme #179)

This magician at the Colonial Fair asked this little boy in the audience to assist him. The magician started out with a single length of rope which he cut into smaller pieces and then tied into the rope above.

Then he placed the rope in a bag and had the boy shake it up. When the boy took the rope out of the bag, it was in one piece again.
