34. A Sound Of Thunder is one of ther first pieces of fiction I ever read

when I was just a little kid in the 1950s. It's a short story about a company that offers people the chance to go back in time to the age of dinosaurs for some big game hunting. But they only can shoot dinosaurs that are about to die, to make sure that history isn't changed. And they're supposed to stay on an elevated walkway that doesn't let them accidentally disturb anything in the Jurassic environment. Unfortunately, one of the tourists goes off the path and accidentally kills a butterfly. When they come back to the present, everything has changed including the English language, all because of one small butterfly.
