woreblack and enjoyed a neck of warm bloodmore than anything.  \nYes,everyone's heard of Count Dracula.But do you know what he was like whenyoung?Before he grew tall,swept his hairback and hung around in graveyards?Not  \nlikely!Because until now,the story of youngDracula has been a secret-a secret that I (avery nosy writer)have at last unearthed.  \nBut before I tell you this secret story,you must learn about life at Castle Draculabefore young Dracula was born.Listen up.This bit's important.  \nOnce,far away in Transylvania,therewere two rival vampires.One was CountDracula.The other was Baron Gertler.TheCount and the Baron lived in tall blackcastles on opposite sides of the valley.  \nFar below the two castles was a village.  \nLate every night,village bloodmen-likeTransylvanian milkmen-rode up to thecastles with bottles of fresh blood for the  \nCount and the Baron.The bloodmen collecteda cup of blood from all villagers aged between10 and 80.The villagers had no choice.It wasa very old law.  \nGive blood freely orthe vampire lords willcome for it themselves  \nNow,for a long time,neither CountDracula nor Baron Gertler had children to  \nfollow in their bloody footsteps.But one year,the Count brought home a wife.And the yearafter,Countess Dracula gave birth to a son.They called him Wilfred.  \nWhen Baron Gertler heard that theDraculas had a son,he turned green withenvy.Then he turned himself into a hugebat,flew to the castle and snatched the babyfrom his mother while the Count clipped histoenails in the bath.Then he flew off withthe baby.  \nThe Countess rushed to save her darlingson,but as she reached for him,she leanedtoo far out of the window and tumbled to herdeath far below.  \nThe Count jumped dripping from the bathand when he saw what had happened,hegnashed his vampire teeth,turned himselfinto a bat and flew after the Baron.TheBaron escaped,but the Count saved babyWilfred and took him home.  \nTwo nights later,the Count sneaked intoCastle Gertler before the Baron was awake,and hammered a wooden stake into theBaron's mean old heart.","cbCaiq3pxuegShOH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq3pxuegShOH","pdf",3004970,66,"English","#
