The Knights of the Round table

A long time ago in England, King Arthur and his knights met together at a great round table which signified equality between everyone. The Knights of the Round Table were taught to humbly respect everyone, even the poorest of people. Well, of course you are probably thinking, “What did they do at the Round Table?” They made important plans. They served King Arthur, whom they greatly loved, and obeyed the code of honor. Faithfully they vowed to help any lady in need, protect the weak, and fight evildoers. They inspired loyalty, unselfishness, and mercy. Although these stories are mostly legends, we still love them and hide them in our hearts even today.

Peter Stelzyk and Gunter Wetzel

In 1979, Peter Stelzyk and Gunter Wetzel made one of the most amazing escapes ever known to man. They lived in communist East Germany where the 12 foot high concrete Berlin Wall stood. It had barbed wire at the top of the wall and was almost impossible to escape! So their wives sewed some sheets and curtains together while Peter and Gunter made the basket, a flame thrower, and a gas burner. They were extremely afraid that their neighbors would turn them in. Then eight people climbed into the balloon and flew over the wall at night. And that's how those desperate people got over that terrible wall.
