Another great story, gotta love em.
This one is about an RAF (royal air force) pilot during WWII. He is shot in the leg during a dogfight and begins to fly back to his airbase. But he ends up not being able to make it and abandons his plane in midair. He wakes up in a hospital, but something is not quite right about what the nurse is telling him.
Really just a fantastic story. Roald Dahl is one of my favorite authors and I'm sure anyone would enjoy this. Here's the link - http://www.classicshorts.com/stories/botd.html

I never read this, but I now want to, because I really like Roald Dahl. I read Matilda and The Witches first, and I loved them; they were awesomely funny. Great stuff.
Peace, love, chocolate,

I have to say that Roald Dahl never really managed to draw me in. The only book of his that I have ever read was "The BFG", and that was in sixth grade, I think, out of lack of anything else. I know a lot of people who are outraged at this, really, but I just don't like the author and his style. I did try, recently, reading something else of his, but just couldn't make it through the first chapters, and then I yielded.

Sorry about the rant

Coolio! I love Roald Dahl too... his "Esiotrot" was the first real book I ever read! Anyway, I'll try to read that sometime I've got time (not now, unfortunately) Thanks for posting!
