Here are two stories from different parts of the world.They seem st  range but,believe it or not,they are all true! John Lee was an Englishman who refused to be hanged In 1884 the police said Lee had killed an old woman who he used to work with.There was nothing to show that Lee had killed the woman.Lee told the police he hadn't done it,but no one believed him and he was going to be hanged.On the day of the hanging,however,the door in the floor,through which Lee's body would fall,did not open.They tried three times but each time the door stayed closed,even though it had worked well the day before.In the end they sent Lee back to prison,where he lived for the next twenty-two years.At all times,John Lee said he hadn't killed the woman,and he believed it was the "hand of God" that had saved him from death by hanging. The police in Venezuela (委内瑞拉) in South America followed a man home one night.He was the thief they wanted to catch.However,half of his house was standing in Venezuela and the other half was standing in Colombia (哥伦比亚),Venezuela's neighbor.When the police entered the house,the man ran upstairs to his bedroom,which was in Colombia,and called his lawyer (律师).The Venezuelan police were not allowed to enter Colombia so they could not enter the bedroom.They asked the police in Colombia to help.The Colombian police refused to help because the man's crime (罪行)was not a crime in Colombia.In the end,the Venezuelan police gave up and went back to the police station. |
