E-boy and his dad were Out-laws.
While E-boy stretched down the road unnoticed, no one was awake. He shaped his pointer finger into a key that will open any device and slipped it into the limo. He got in the limo, turned it on and put the radio on full volume. Most people came out to observe all the commotion. E-boy slipped into their houses and nicked all the valuable objects. The next day he disguised himself and sold all the objects to different people. He would go and tell the police that the buyer stole the object. He would collect a reward from the police for catching “the thief”. So in this way he made double money.
When he finished explaining all this to his dad (SuperStrengthMan), SSMan cheered him.
The tiny hairs that E-boy had on his chin lengthened, so he had a long beard. All parts of his body went long and short and he didn't even look like himself. He made himself a new ID card. His new identity was Aaron Buttercorn. The only bad thing was that E-boy was undesirable number one. It meant that he was WANTED. The prize for capturing him was a $100,000,000,000,000,000. He was caught stealing something worth a hundred dollars less than this amount. And he slipped through the bars of a top security cell, around 10 times.
At E-boy’s shop, the Value Store (the place to sell his stolen goods), there was nobody. So he slipped into a nut shop and threw THE GOLDEN CASHEW into the cashew box. The next customer, who was very poor, took that exact cashew (the golden one). E-boy immediately dialled 131 444. The police came and shouted “You’re under arrest.” “What ME?” asked E-boy, utterly baffled. “Yes! E-boy, your game’s up.” E-boy returned to his own form but the police were quicker, though, and caught him. They took him to a stone vault, with a hole in it. They pushed him in the hole and a stone appeared in it and the vault was sealed.
He had thought he could escape from the hole. Every day, it was the same, pushing in a glass of water, vitamins A, B, C, a slice of bread and some clothes. He always got the hope of making an escape when the food came through. Every day, when he had drunk his fill of water, he would strip himself clean, become small and go for a dip in the glass. Each day, a slave would come to the room, get a glass and fill it at the tap just outside and give it into the vault. Each Saturday, the slave would collect the glasses. E-boy figured this out, so he became small and went in a glass. He heard a muffled shout of pain, he saw SSMan break the wall. E-boy’s dad called out “It’s me!”
E-boy made his hand large and his dad pulled him out and took him home. Home sweet Home.
The End OR is it...
