The Superman  

First Place Winner of ROC Tall Tales Contest,1995.4.23. Andreas Ouyang China

 


Have you ever seen this action before ? That action is made by the Superman when he is flying. If I ask, "How much do you know about the Superman ?" I think many people would reply :
1. The Superman wears glasses when he acts as a normal person
2. The Superman changes his clothes in a telephone booth
3. The Superman wears his underwear outside.

Well ! if above mentioned 3 points are all you know about the Superman, let me say that "You are only a primary school pupil to me," because apart from those 3 points, the Superman also has some other actions which are the so-called "pening" before his flying. Now would you please watch out my performance :

First, the Superman will jump 6 steps from his left foot - one, two, three, four, five, six, and then shrug his shoulders, and keep saying "a little bit handsome, but not too handsome, a little bit strong, but not too strong, when I see anything unfair, I will cut in with my mighty power," then shouting "Super," and he flies away.

Perhaps, you will be curious about how come I can understand the Superman so much ? And that is the main purpose why I deliver the speech today, because now I am going to reveal the top secret in the world that the mysterious, heroic and mighty Superman is nobody else but me, I, myself.

I know that you are very suspicious, but it doesn't matter, I will prove it with facts : 25 years ago, at a midnight, I heard a woman yelling "Oh ! the Superman" almost out of her breath. Suddenly I felt hot blood was booming in my chest, so I changed clothes in a telephone booth and put on my underwear outside, and then (jump 6 steps, shrug shoulders) - a little bit handsome but not too handsome, a little bit strong but not too strong, when I see anything unfair, I will cut in with my mighty power, "Super !"

When I flew to the destination, I found a woman was covered by a man with very satisfactory facial expression - "Oh ! the Superman," but I was angry, so I blamed her "Even though your feeling is great, you are not supposed to yell 'Super-man,' next time, would you please yell 'Oh ! Super-guy,' OK ?" Finally, the man who was covering on her body apologized to me and signed his name on my passport, otherwise, I was going to teach them a lesson with my mighty power. Now, I'd like to show you the guy's signature to be my evidence -毛澤東, and with his signature, I can travel to Mainland China randomly without a visa.

Well, so far, I have found many people tend to salute to me to show their respect, take it easy, I have one more thing to display, ladies and gentlemen, what I am going to do right now is to "fly" in front of your eyes, and of course, I should have my uniform on my body already (jump 6 steps, shrug shoulders, touch hair, bend arms, erect small finger) - "Super !"

Just a moment please, one thing reminds me of telling you that I'm afraid I can not fly today, the reason is because - I haven't put on my underwear outside yet. -The End-
