It’s Raining What?
Two years earlier, the people of Korona in northern Greece had reported another fish shower, and there have been others outside Europe: in India, Singapore, and even the USA.
Some people blame it on global warming or pollution, but scientists disagree. People have reported fish showers since ancient times. Pliny the Elder, a Roman philosopher（哲学家）, was the first to report one in the 1st century A.D.
So, what’s the explanation? Meteorologists（气象学家）say that in bad weather strong winds can pick up small objects and carry them long distances. When there’s a storm, these objects fall with the rain. And fish are not the only things that rain down. There have been showers of many things, including frogs, tomatoes, coal, and even jellyfish!
Five Hundred Times
In the traffic court of a large mid-western city, a young lady was brought before the judge. She was given a ticket for driving through a red light. She explained to the judge that she was a school teacher and her students were waiting for her. So she hoped that her case would be over soon. A wild gleam came into the judge's eyes. "You are a school teacher, huh?" said he. "Madam, I shall realize my lifelong ambition. Sit down at that table and write 'I went through a red light' five hundred times."
