I saw a young man, an a shop assistant in woking, i believe. He was standing on the cylinder and trying to scramble out of the hole. The end of the cylinder was being screwed out from within nearly two feet of shining screw projected at about 60 centimeters. For a mo that circular cavity seemed perfectly black. I had the sunset in my eyes. But looking i presently saw something stirring within the shadow. And then two luminous disks like eyes. Then something resembling a little gray snake about the thick of a walking stick coiled up out of the writhing middle and wriggled in the air towards me. Grayish billowy movements. This is a good one.
734. The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells [Part 1] Learn English with Stories
Luke reads extracts from The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells.
This is a classic bit of science fiction writing from the Victorian era, with some thrilling passages and scary descriptions. It's one of my favourite books of all time and I hope you enjoy it too and learn some English from it. Full transcript available and YouTube version too.
