"Something I used to use in my class for 'visual storytelling'. Xmas movies are coming on TV & I shared a fun lesson with my kids from "HOME ALONE". My wife got a kick out of it as well. (I love storytelling without words) *Soul in Pain... *Soul is Healing... *Soul is Healed"

The Jungle Prince of Dehli

From the Department of Amazing Stories:

Carve out 30 minutes of your weekend to read this. Trust me. I haven't read an article as fascinating as this one in a LONG time.

This story has it all, poison with crushed diamonds...a royal family forced to live in a train station...a crumbling old mansion in the middle of the jungle inhabited by a reclusive prince. It's a Hindu Grimm's fairy tale. And the writer unfolds everything expertly.

From the Department of Amazing Stories:

This has always been a fantasy of mine; to live on a deserted island for a couple months to a year. Eating cocnuts and spear fishing. I think I watched too many episodes of Gilligan's Island growing up.

But it really happened to a group of boys in who were stranded on an island in the pacific for over a year. And no, they didn't kill each other and worship a pig head.
