Hi! I’m Superman!!! Today I lost my money. I GOT ROBBED!!! As soon as I got to the telephone box I checked for my wallet and there was NO MONEY!! But just then I got a call from a girl named Lucy. She said she had been robbed. Then I got another call from a teenager named Jessica and she said she had been robbed as well. I explained to both Lucy and Jessica that I was robbed too. But they were to upset. I knew I had to go on another mission before that robber robbed anyone else!
It took a while for me to fly to Lucy’s House but when I got there I found this little gadget thing. When I turned it on, I saw THE JOKER!!! I asked Lucy if this belonged to her. She said, “No”. After I got to Jessica’s house I found a broken iPhone and Jessica she said she found it on her kitchen bench. I saw The Joker walking out of a house so I flew over and saw money falling out of his pockets. I assumed he was the thief but he said that was his house.
So I called over all the people that where my superhero friends but they all now wanted to be villains. So I checked them over to see if any of them had been taking money from people. All of them said they hadn’t!
I then had a feeling maybe I was the thief. I remembered I woke up outside and I was laying on money and people were staring at me. SO I WAS THE THIEF!!!! Everyone started tracking me. I must have been sleep walking. When I was, I wasn’t awake. But everyone wanted their money back. So I flew slowly back to my house because I knew the money was there. I started looking for it but most was missing. All they left was one dollar. I went and got a pair of Converse shoes. I scammed them from one dollar. I went home to my family sad because I lost all my money and everyone else’s too. I was the thief and now I had been robbed. I said, “I am ok at least and we have a lot of money left”. They stared at me like I was confused. I asked, “What was wrong?” and they answered back, “You led them here and they took everything”. I had to get everyone’s money back.
When I got to Lucy’s house I went I had a rest but I couldn’t sleep. I just couldn’t stop thinking how or why I got out the door and why I sleep walked and stole money. I started searching everywhere and then found the money under a gnome in a garden around the corner where the Joker had been sitting not long before. I took the money and returned it to everyone and said I was sorry. We all had a drink.
