Читать книгу Sam Wu is NOT Afraid of the Dark! - Katie Tsang - Страница 7

My name is Sam Wu and I am NOT afraid of the dark. Or sharks. Or ghosts.

You might be wondering why I’m listing out all the things I’m NOT afraid of.

It’s because lately I’ve had to prove just how very brave I am.

And let me tell you, proving how brave you are is HARD WORK.

Only the bravest can do it, really.

Most recently, I had to prove I wasn’t afraid of sharks. This is because Ralph Philip Zinkerman the Third, who is the WORST PERSON IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE, invited me to his birthday. At the beach. And as everybody knows, the beach is home of the sharks. Ralph was basically inviting me to Certain Doom.

But Ralph underestimated just how brave I am (as usual). With the help of my two best friends, Zoe and Bernard, and a trusty chilli-pepper belt (it made sense at the time), we were able to outsmart the sharks and Ralph. I even saved Ralph’s grandpa from getting eaten by a shark!¹

Before the sharks, well, there was this whole situation with a ghost in my house. And my pet snake, Fang, who is VERY dangerous, went missing. We still think that maybe the ghost and Fang were working together.

At least I still think that. Bernard tells me that we have no evidence.

Bernard might be the smartest kid I know, but he doesn’t know everything. He didn’t even know what SPACE BLASTERS was until I told him about it.

And EVERYONE knows about SPACE BLASTERS! It’s the very best show in the universe. It’s my favourite thing on TV. If I could do anything, I’d be a member of the crew on TUBS, which stands for The Universe’s Best Spaceship. It is led by Captain Jane and Spaceman Jack and their alien friend, Five-Eyed Frank. They go on all kinds of adventures and aren’t scared of anything.

Anyway, the lessons I’ve learned from SPACE BLASTERS, ghosts AND sharks were all just to prepare me for the scariest thing I’ll ever encounter. My greatest challenge yet.
