Learn English with another short story. I’ll read the entire story to you, and then go through the text again explaining and clarifying the main events and plenty of vocabulary. This is a wonderful adventure story written by HG Wells, a very influential and imaginative English writer from the late 19th century. The story is full of vivid descriptive language, action, adventure and extraordinary moments. I hope it captures your imagination and lets the English come alive in memorable ways.

Thank you. I was listening this amazing video in two parts. Probably had a day between them. Both in my way to my work and from it. The second part i finished just a moment ago on my way from work in a bus and a subway in the end. We are having a rush of cold , windy and snowy weather today and my commute from work became very long.
I am listening to to this story third or forth ,I kind of understood the story,I think ,I am learning a lot of vocabulary. Thank you so much for teaching me English language.
Luke, thank you for the story!
I just want to say some words to defend the poor aepyornis ๐ The aepyornis was unintentionally slandered by Wells as that bird was completely phytivorous (plant-eating) like the extinct gigantic bird moa that had inhabited New Zealand before it was exterminated by people in the 18th century. Moa and aepyornis were similar species. They were kin. Those birds didn't have big incurved beaks or claws (like eagles do). Actually they were reminiscent of ostriches. Of course Wells couldn't know about it. I'm not sure the scientists had any details of the kind that time which palaeontologists have nowadays.
What Wells really meant in his story could be a phororachus. It was a different gigantic flightless bird of prey but it inhabitated South America and extincted about 2 million years ago. Phororachuses were really intimidating predators.
It's just to drop all charges against the aepyornis (as a species) haha ๐
Loved it! Thanks a million โค
