The Merry Go
Round
The man who owned the
Merry Go Round decided to close it down because he didn’t have
enough customers coming to the amusement park where he held the
ride. Instead of buying the owner out, the park simply boarded up
the carousel and this part of the park became very much abandoned
for a number of years. 10 years after the ride was closed the
original owners daughter thought it was a shame to have the
beautiful Merry Go Round boarded up and forgotten in this manner.
She and her boyfriend decided to bring some publicity to the park
and the ride and reopen the carousel. The boyfriend was going to
ride the Merry Go Round for 72 hours straight.
The boards were removed,
the lights and music turned on and the press had arrived. He made a
big show of patting his chosen horse on the nose and mounting the
horse he would be riding for the next 72 hours. Surprisingly he was
on the ride for less then 10 minutes, when he started complaining
that the horse bit him. No one believed him and his girlfriend
became very upset, saying that he was letting her down and backing
out of the promise he had made. About 5 minutes later, he fell off
the horse to the floor of the ride. They shut off the ride and ran
to investigate. They found that he had died. The upset girlfriend
began shaking in disbelief and backed up into the horse he was
riding which immediately began to hiss violently. They looked into
the horse’s mouth and saw that a poisonous snake was hiding inside.
