　　Good evening, ladies and gentlemen．Welcome to the nine o’clock Mystery Hour．Today we’ll show you two British stories．We hope you’ll enjoy them．

　　About 900 years ago two green children arrived in a small village in south England．Their eyes and skin were green and they spoke a strange language．They were very tired and weak, so the people of the village looked after them．The boy died a year later, but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there．And her skin colour turned back to normal day by day．Scientists say that sometimes of people don’t have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can even turn green．

　　Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland．It’s a very deep and cold lake．For hundreds of years, people have talked about a monster(怪物)called Nessie which lives in the lake．About seventy years ago, two people saw something moving in the lake．They said that the animal was playing and rolling around in the water．Since then many people say they have seen the monster．Their descriptions are always the same．It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head．It has a big bump(包，腫塊)on its back．People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear．Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not．Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish．Some think it’s a snake．Others say there’s nothing at all－nothing but people’s imagination．Maybe we’ll never know what’s in Loch Ness．

     I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard
University. We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company "Microsoft" and make
his own software. But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost
all computers now use Microsoft software. The program "Word" is used from Britain to China!
     Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success.
Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. The government says
that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what's more, because he fits his new
software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their
programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and
stronger. Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors.
     He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of
many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.

     Once again, Mrs Lee talks about the pass. and there is no stopping her. "Four pounds fifty, 'says David. 　　At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.
