Legend of the Bermuda Triangle

Never go in a boat on the water near the island of Bermuda（百慕大）. Do not fly through their skies in a plane. Many boats go there and never return. Many planes that fly there are never seen again. So, do not go near Bermuda!

Some people say they have seen strange lights in the Bermuda Triangle. Others say that nothing there is right. But nobody can find out the truth. They never return. They are never seen again.

Some people say the city of Atlantis is under the water. They think that the boats go down into the city. Other people think that UFOs abduct the planes and the people on them. Maybe they go to a past time.
