The temperature's on "sizzle"
again in Beaumont, South Carolina, where peach trees are in
season and ripe for the picking. So is its newest
entrepreneur, Annie Fortenberry, who has inherited her
grandmother's B&B (and its eccentric handyman Erdle Thorney).
According to a local psychic she also inherited a spirit
from its glory days as a brothel - not the kind of publicity
the Peach Tree Bed & Breakfast needs if it's hosting
millionaire Max Holt's upcoming wedding! If rumors of a
naughty, prank-playing ghost aren't stressful enough, a
mysterious man has arrived with an eye on Annie and her
master suite. |

A pious man explained
to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble
to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred
lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a
hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where
they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those
fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough,
the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I
am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it
is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to
market and I sell them for a good price. With the
money I receive, I buy more nets so I can save more
fishes." - Anonymous |
