Rowley the hero

7. Rowley Jefferson was a ten-year-old boy who loved to read comics about superheroes. His favorite superhero was Captain Arse Face, who had superhuman strength, speed, and the ability to fly. Rowley dreamed of being just like him, and he often imagined himself saving the world with his superpowers. One day, while Rowley was reading his comic book, he had an idea. He decided that he would become a superhero just like his idol. So, when he finished his dinner of roast beef and vegetables, he snuck out of his room through his window and set out to save the world. Rowley's dad was having a tough time digesting what he just heard, and he choked on his food. His mother quickly rushed to his aid, and after he stopped coughing, she asked Rowley what he meant. Rowley told his parents that he was going to save the world just like Captain Arse Face. Rowley's mum read him a bedtime story, "Captain Arse Face and the Nasty Nappy" before he went off to sleep. As he drifted off to sleep, he dreamed of himself flying around the city, saving people from burning buildings and stopping evil villains from taking over the world. The next day, Rowley set out to save the world. He started by flying around the city using his dad's leaf blower. As he was flying, he saw a cat stuck in a tree. Rowley remembered that Captain Arse Face always rescued animals, so he used his powers to push the cat out of the tree. Unfortunately, Rowley's powers were not strong enough to control his leaf blower, and he lost control, causing him to fall out of the sky and the cat to die. Feeling guilty, Rowley ran away from the scene of the accident. As he continued to fly around the city, he saw an old man stuck on the train tracks. Rowley remembered that Captain Arse Face always helped people in distress, so he stopped to help the old man. He gave him some food, but he did not manage to save the man, and he was hit by a speeding train.
Feeling more guilty than ever, Rowley decided to go back home. But when he arrived, he discovered that his country was under threat from the evil dictator Kim Jong Un, who had sent a nuclear missile to destroy the capital city. The military had no way of detecting the missile, and they had no way to defend themselves. But Rowley had an idea. He knew that he could use his powers to redirect the missile to another city, where it would not cause any damage. He quickly flew into action and used his leaf blower to redirect the missile to the city of Doncaster. Rowley knew that nobody liked Doncaster, so he thought it would be a great place to send the missile. As a result of Rowley's heroic actions, he became a hero overnight. The entire country was grateful for his efforts, and he was hailed as a hero by the media. But Rowley knew that he had made some mistakes along the way. He realized that being a hero was not just about saving the world with superpowers, but it was also about doing the right thing and helping others in need. From that day on, Rowley continued to read his comic books about superheroes, but he also learned to be a hero in his own way. He helped the homeless, the elderly, and the sick in his community, and he always tried to put others before himself. In the end, Rowley may not have been a superhero in the traditional sense, but he was a hero in the eyes of those he helped. The next day, Rowley woke up feeling proud of himself for being a hero and saving the city. But his joy was short-lived when the police knocked on their door. Rowley's father was arrested for encouraging his son to do bad things and for being reckless with his leaf blower. The police explained that what Rowley did was risky and put people's lives in danger.
Feeling ashamed of himself, Rowley realized that what he did was not heroic at all. He had been foolish to copy the actions of a fictional character without thinking about the consequences. He felt guilty for causing the death of the cat and the old man's death on the train tracks. Rowley learned a valuable lesson that day. He realized that heroes didn't just have supernatural powers like Captain Arseface, they had morals, values, and principles that they lived by. He understood that to be a real hero, he needed to follow the rules, respect others, and do good deeds selflessly. As his dad went to trial, Rowley's life changed for the better. He spent more time studying and learning about what it meant to be a good person and not just a hero. He got involved in volunteer work, helping out at his local community center, and visiting sick people in the hospital. He learned that anyone could be a hero, and that true heroism came from making a positive impact on the world. Rowley knew that he had made a mistake by following a fictional character blindly, but he also knew that he had learned from his mistakes and grown as a person. In the end, Rowley became a real hero, not just a fictional one. And he knew that it all started with understanding the difference between right and wrong, and choosing to do the right thing, even when it was difficult.
