ABCman's adventures

There was a typhoon coming to Hong Kong at midnight. Everyone was preparing for it. Harry Potter’s family was hard- working so they had no time to prepare for the typhoon.

Suddenly, a man called ABCman flew in the sky. He shouted, “I ought to help the people, the typhoon is so big!” He used a weapon called “A” to make the typhoon stop, then he used another weapon called “B” to push the typhoon out of the world. Finally, he used weapon “C” to make it disappear in the sky. He had power like Superman’s but Superman was sleeping at that time.

A reporter ran after ABCman and asked, “Hi! What’s your name?” When ABCman wanted to answer, Superman appeared and said, “Don’t answer!” Then, ABCman went back home. When he was back home, Harry Potter saw him and said, “Hi! I am Harry Potter!” ABCman said, “What happened?” “Five witches are in the school near Ocean Park.” “Okay! I will kill them next Saturday.”
-----------Next Saturday----------
The five witches had nothing to do and went to Ocean Park. ABCman went there too. He ran after them. The witches knew he was after them and they turned him into a frog. Superman knew this, and he helped ABCman to become a man again. The witches were so sad, because they were ordered by Harry Potter to kill ABCman.
Finally, ABCman and Superman used a “super-weapon” called “D” to kill Harry Potter. From then on, ABCman did not go out because there was no more crime in Hong Kong.
