GREEK RUINS

THERE ARE MANY RUINS IN GREECE, AND SOME ARE UNDERGROUND. FOR
EXAMPLE, ONE FAMILY'S LAND HAD VERY INTERESTING ARTICLES BENEATH. ONE
TIME SOMEONE WAS DIGGING AND CAME UP WITH WHAT LOOKED LIKE A BATHTUB,
AND IT WAS. OFFICIALS BOUGHT IT WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS
PART OF A HOUSE. TODAY IT IS CALLED NESTOR'S PALACE AND BECAUSE IT IS
A NATIONAL EXHIBIT, YOU CAN SEE THE BASE OF THE MANSION WITH ANCIENT
PLUMBING AND OTHER THINGS.

Submitter comment: THIS STORY WAS ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITE ONES. THE FACT THAT IT
ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO MY NEIGHBOR, IT GAVE ME A FEELING OF EXCITE-
MENT.
