Hello, this is Jhanna and welcome to Story Noory. This story is dedicated to Adam, Yarden and Netta, who asked us to do something just a bit spooky. The Dutch Hotel is not just famous for being haunted.
It is also known for the best Dutch pancakes in London. Well, naturally, given its name and history, they had to hire a pancake chef from Holland. And just in case you're wondering, he is a live chef, not a ghost. At 7.22am Captain Errol Fen landed his Boeing 747 from Boston at Heathrow Airport.
Before taking a nap, the one thing he was looking forward to was a good breakfast. His co-pilot, who was half Dutch, recommended the pancakes at the Dutch Hotel. Still wearing his pilot's uniform, he took a black cab straight there. The fair was almost as much as a return flight to New York, but never mind he was hungry.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (18 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
