Synopsis

• Have you heard the one about the girl who was run over by a train and lived -- unharmed -- to tell about it?
• Or the cancer patient who needed money for medical costs? She tried to sell her lamb at a farm auction -- and came back home with her lamb and $16,000!
• Or the two elderly piano players who make music together -- one can only use her left hand and the other can only use her right hand?

These stories and more -- humorous, poignant, astounding -- and all true!

The universal appeal of these stories ensures a pleasurable reading experience and motivates students toward reading fluency.

A dog in Japan who swims 2 miles to visit his girlfriend. . . A restaurant in San Francisco that serves ground pearls . . . A doctor in Mexico who is known as "The surgeon who operates with his feet" . . . These are some of the stories in "More True Stories," the third in the "True Stories" series. This book for high-beginning students has the same flavor and format as "True Stories in the News," but is slightly more difficult: the stories are a little longer, vocabulary is more sophisticated, and sentence structures are more complex.
