Story 317

                            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.
