READING:

Thousands of tourists visit the ancient city of Pompeii every year. It is a big tourist sight. Most tourists leave the city with happy memories. Some people steal relics, like statues or tiles. Some tourists say these things have brought them bad luck. They sent them back to Pompeii. Many wrote about their bad luck.

A worker at the 2,000-year-old Pompeii talked about the letters. A man said his life was full of bad luck after he took a small tile from Pompeii. A Spanish man stole a bronze statue and said it brought all his family bad luck. The worker wants to show everyone the letters. He said they might be more interesting than the relics.
