He installed one of his engines on a Lohner and showed it in the Paris World Fair. The car was the show-stopper of the event, and later obtained positive results in several races.

What if we had super powers !

That would be an amazing thing , because if we have them we can do everything we want like : Fly , 
Froze someone by blewing on him or even burn things by using our eyes
It would be amazing but also dangerous if we dont know how to use them or if we use them for bad things i think it would be fabulous to have them but we would also loose our humanity. 

A Disturbing Episode

Nowadays, almost every school in Lebanon celebrates the Lebanese Independence Day, which occurs at the 22nd of November, for now 73 years. But at our school, something disturbing happened.

As the celebration started, almost every student was talking and shouting and screaming, whilst the new headmaster was making a speech about the Lebanese Independence. Some of them calmed down a bit when the Lebanese Hymn was played, but they just restarted everything afterwards, considering this ceremony a waste of time. Some of them even started hitting and pushing each others all around the recess yard. 

This episode was a very disturbing one, because of all the disrespect the students showed to their great country and their new headmaster. Why all this disrespect? Why all this rudeness? Do we really lack the necessary politeness to stand still for at least half an hour, in order to show our respect?
