Once upon a bad time John Superhero heard someone yelling. "Help! Help! Help!" He flew around trying to find where the call for help was coming from. Finally he found the place, and he saw who was calling for help. It was his friend Simon Clayfeet. He was lost on a BIIIIIIG HIIIIIGH mountain. John Superhero saw that there was water on one side of the mountain, and there was forest on the other. If Simon Clayfeet went down the side where there was water he would drown because he can't swim. And if he went down to the forest he would get stuck in the trees.
Simon Clayfeet didn't dare go down either side. He knew that there was forest on one side and water on the other. And there were giant sea monsters in the water! And there were forest-proof scorpions in the forest. (They're called 'forest-proof' because they're not supposed to live in the forest, but these can.)
John Superhero flew down and landed on the mountain. He asked Simon Clayfeet where he was trying to go. Simon Clayfeet said he was trying to go to the Natural History Museum. John Superhero knew where that was. He picked Simon Clayfeet up and held him while he flew, but then he realized that a piece of the clay on Simon Clayfeet's foot was stuck on the mountain, and they couldn't pull it off. It stretched out as they flew, and they couldn't fly much farther or it would break, and that would hurt Simon Clayfeet.
John Superhero said that Simon Clayfeet should stay on the mountain. He flew down to the forest. He sneaked without the scorpions noticing. He took one strong stick and flew back up to the mountain, and he scraped the clay off with that one stick. And then he picked Simon Clayfeet up, and he carried Simon Clayfeet as he flew to the Natural History Museum, and put him down there.
The End
