Читать книгу Mystery of the Golden Cat - Eleanor Beatrice Coerr - Страница 8

To read this story, be ready to let the "Land of Smiles" or Siam, as Thailand is sometimes called, cast its magic spell over you.

In Bangkok, drifting down one of the many canals in a sampan, you will admire houses on floating pontoons and be dazzled by gleaming golden spires that almost scrape the sky. A thrill will tingle your spine as you watch dancers wearing frightening demon masks leap and twirl through the air. If you look closely, you may even catch a glimpse of the pee, mischievous little elves who love to play tricks on visitors. With luck, you may run your fingers through the golden fur of a royal Siamese cat.

Such an extraordinary cat would bring you much good fortune, because Siamese cats are very, very special as you will discover while reading The Mystery of the Golden Cat.
