A GAME AT HOGWARTS

The competitors walked out onto the pitch to a wave of noise.
“And here come the Gryffindors!” yelled Lee Jordan, acting as commentator. “Potter, Bell,
Wood and the rest of the team!”
Lee’s words were met with loud boos from the Slytherin end.
“And here come the Slytherins, led by Captain Flint. He’s made some changes in the team.”
“Captains, shake hands!” said Madam Hooch.
Flint and Wood approached each other and grasped each other’s hands tightly. It seemed that each was trying to break the other’s fingers.

TO BITE OR NOT TO BITE?

Have you seen pictures of Olympic medal winners receiving their medals and facing an army of photographers? When the lights flash, many of them grab their medals and take a bite. It is a mystery why they do this. But it’s not always a good idea. A German sports star, David Moeller, bit his silver medal too hard and broke his tooth.
Biting a medal is common practice which has become a tradition in sport. So, the next time you are at a sporting event, watch closely what the athletes do when they receive their medals.
