From the Author
The ancient Greeks believed that Night and Air united and gave birth to the three Fates. Robbed in white, the three sisters determine the destiny of all humans. Clotho is the spinner of life. For each man and woman, she spins a fine linen thread on her spindle. Lachesis is the measurer of life. She determines the worth of the thread, deciding if it will be woven into goodness or evil. Atropos, the shearer of life, is the smallest and most terrible of the sisters. She determines how long each mortal's life will be, then snips the thread.
The stories in this collection are all about people who in someway tempt Fate. Some are written by classic authors, like Chaucer and Nathaniel Hawthorne and Ambrose Bierce. Others are written by award-winning contemporary authors, like Stephen King and Henry Slesar and Richard Matheson. But what all the stories share in common is this: each has a surprise twist ending!
What is Read magazine? Read is a literature magazine published 18 times during the school year by Weekly Reader Corporation. The magazine is for students in grades 6 through 10 (or higher!) In the year 2000, Read will celebrate its 50th publishing anniversary and the Best of Read book series is a collection of the very best stories--both fiction and nonfiction--that have appeared in the magazine over the years! Enjoy!

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
