D o you know that people once said there was
a psychic octopus? At first, I thought it
was a lie, but there actually was a “psychic”
octopus! Many people say they can talk
to animals as a psychic. His name was
Paul, and he lived in a German aquarium.
Paul made many correct predictions
during the 2010 World Cup. How did it work?
His caretaker gave him two boxes. The same type
of food was in each box. And each box had a national
flag on it. Paul chose a box and ate the food inside the box. In every case, the
nation that Paul chose won their match! It’s strange, isn’t it?
