The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour.Cities on the Africancoast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.The wave moves into the IndianOcean and heads towards Asia.

He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a let-ter into the box at the front door.Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check forfive pounds from the tax-collector.The official explained that too much had been paid, and thattherefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.
