ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Misterio del Diamante Azul.



En la vibrante metrópoli de Neotokio, el detective Akira investigaba el robo más audaz de la década: el diamante azul más grande del mundo había desaparecido del museo de arte. El robo parecía imposible; no había señales de forzamiento, las alarmas no se activaron y las cámaras de seguridad no captaron nada sospechoso. Sin embargo, Akira, con su mente analítica y su ojo agudo, notó un detalle minúsculo: una imperceptible marca en la vitrina donde había estado expuesto el diamante.

Intrigado, Akira se sumergió en un mundo de pistas y enigmas. Tras días de meticulosa investigación, descubrió que la marca era una señal secreta utilizada por una banda de ladrones de alta tecnología conocida como los "Fantasmas". Estos enigmáticos criminales eran famosos por sus robos casi perfectos y su capacidad para desaparecer sin dejar rastro. Siguiendo esta pista, Akira y su equipo, equipados con los últimos gadgets, rastrearon el diamante hasta un antiguo almacén en las afueras de la ciudad.

En el almacén, en una habitación oculta detrás de una pared falsa, encontraron el diamante escondido en un compartimento secreto de una escultura de jade. Sin embargo, su alivio fue efímero, ya que los Fantasmas los estaban esperando. Se produjo una persecución trepidante por las calles de Neotokio, con los ladrones utilizando drones y vehículos modificados para escapar. Akira y su equipo, con una combinación de habilidad y valentía, lograron acorralar a los Fantasmas en un antiguo edificio industrial. Después de una intensa batalla, recuperaron el diamante y capturaron a los ladrones.

La ciudad entera celebró la hazaña de Akira y su equipo. El detective, sin embargo, sabía que el mundo del crimen era un lugar dinámico y que siempre habría nuevos desafíos. Con una mirada hacia el futuro, Akira se preparaba para enfrentar las próximas aventuras que lo esperaban.

Grammar Practice Who vs Whom

More and more people are once again booking flights to exciting places around the world.

But as they take their seats, many travelers will remember that spending time with other passengers is not always easy.

Travel website Only Wanderlust surveyed over 1,500 travelers about the most annoying passengers on a plane.

Nine percent of travelers agreed that people who kick your seat are the most annoying passengers. Here are the top 10 on the list.

A passenger who kicks your seat.
A passenger who doesn't smell too nice.
A passenger who talks loudly.
A passenger who pulls on — or pushes against — your seat.
A drunk passenger.
Crying babies or children.
A passenger in front of you reclining their seat.
A passenger wearing strong smelling perfume.
A passenger who doesn't wear their mask correctly.
A passenger who snores when sleeping.
Number seven on the list is a topic that is often discussed.

In the survey, Only Wanderlust asked if passengers have a right to recline their seats, and almost two out of three travelers said that they did.

The website also asked some airline companies about the right to recline. None of the airlines said they had a policy on this topic. But they recommended talking to the passenger in front or behind, or if there is an argument, asking a member of staff for help.

As for crying babies: they can't really help it. But as we get older, perhaps we can all try to think about the people around us when we're on a plane.
