Story 316
Attila The Hum
Attila the Hun was one of the most vicious men who ever lived
under the sun. His enemies were stunned by the intricate traps
he spun. With just a sword, never a gun, he fought just for fun.
Being fearful, even his own soldiers would shun “The Hun.” But
when he took Rome he hurt no one – not the Pope, not a priest, not
a single nun – certainly not a married one.
