Acerca de este libro electrónico
Their father turned over six dollars and the man quickly stuck it in a cash box under the counter.
Jamie stepped up to look at one of the cases.
“This is strange,” she announced to the others. “Take a look at this!”
Kendall and their father stepped over to look at the case. Inside was a pair of tattered and dirty panty hose, next to a picture of a young woman. There was also a picture of a rope bridge. Several ropes had been slung across a gorge and wooden slats had been tied to form a length that people could walk on.
Find out what the panty hose has to do with the bridge, and whether the story about them is true.
