Jasper White is one of those rare people whobelieves in ancient myths. he has just bought a newhousein the city, but ever since he moved in, he hashad trouble with cars and their owners. When hereturns home at night, he always finds that someonehas parked a car outside his gate. Because of this,he has not been able to get his own car into hisgarage even once. Jasper has put up 'No Parking'signs outside his gate, but these have not had anyeffect. Now he has put an ugly stone head over thegate. Itis one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked him what it wasand he told me thatit was Medusa, the Gorgon. jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their ownerstostone. Butnone of them has been turned to stone yet!
