Spot the difference!

Alba R. (3ºA) has written a summary of the story "The Vampire" (from "Vampire Tales") for us, BUT she has changed the original story! Can you find the two differences she has included?

In the year 1888 in London, there was an aristocrat called Lord Ruthven. He was a strange person with a pale face and he had very big cold eyes. The same year, a young man called Anthony came to London with his family. He lived with his uncle, sister and aunt. Anthony thought Lord Ruthven was an interesting person, and they went to travel together, but Anthony didn´t know Lord Ruthven was a vampire. In one of their journeys, when they were in Rome, Anthony received a letter from his uncle and aunt. They told him that Lord Ruthven was dangerous and he mustn´t travel with him. After that Anthony went away from Lord Ruthven and travelled to Greece.

In Greece Anthony met a woman called Calida and fell in love with her. One day Anthony decided to go to an archeological site some distance away. Calida told him it was dangerous, because there were vampires in the ruins, but Anthony went to the ruins in spite of that advice. When Anthony was in the ruins and it was dark, he heard a woman´s crying. he went into a house and saw Calida on the floor. She was crying. When she saw Anthony she went out of the house and Anthony never saw Calida again. After that, she was very ill.

One day Lord Ruthven travelled to Greece and met Anthony, and they went to travel together again. In another of their journeys, while they were in the mountains, a group of thieves hit Anthony in the arm and hit Lord Ruthven too. Lord Ruthven died. Anthony made a promise, he wouldn´t tell anything about the death of Lord Ruthven and his crimes. Anthony decided to go back to London and when he arrived, his sister was going to marry. His sister showed him a photograph of her future husband. Anthony saw he was Lord Ruthven, but he couldn´t tell anything. After the marriage nobody saw Lord Ruthven and his sister again.
Now try to find the two differences.
