The Adventures of Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey Chapter 15 Dr. Diaper George and Harold hid behind the van until the coast was clear. Then they sneaked up to the whole in the door and peeked inside. Captain Underpants was all tied up, the two robots were standing guard, and a strange little man wearing a diaper was laughing manically. "I am the evil Dr. Diaper," the strange little man told Captain Underpants." And you will be the first to witness the take over of the world!" Dr. Diaper placed the stolen crystal into a large machine called the Laser Matic 2000. The machine started to light up and make loud noises. Heavy gears began shifting and spinning, and the laser beam from the crystal shot straight up through the hole in the roof. "In exactly 20 minutes, this laser beam will blow up the moon and send huge chunks of it crashing down upon every major city in the world!" laughed Dr. Diaper. "Then, I will rise from the rubble and take over the planet!" "Only one thing can help us now," said George. "What?" asked Harold. "Rubber doggy doo-doo," said George. Harold took the fake doggy doo-doo and a slingshot from George's backpack and handed them to him. "Be careful," said Harold. "The fate of the entire planet is in your hands!" With careful and precise aim, George shot the rubber doggie doo-doo through the air and across the room. It landed with a plop! -- right at the feet of Dr. Diaper. "Yessss!" whispered George and Harold. Dr. Diaper looked down at the doo-doo between his feet and turned bright red. "Oh, dear me!" he cried. "I'm dreadfully embarrassed! Please excuse me." He began to waddle toward the restroom. "This has never happened to me before, I assure you," he said. "I - I guess with all the excitement, I just ... I just ... Oh, dear! Oh, dear!"

In this episode we will talk about 【What sports do Chinese people like?】, you will learn how to say 【popularize,Badminton,Camping】 ect. -------------------------------------------------- It is recommended that you study in the following ways: Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary) Step 2: Check the script and learn new words. Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can then retell the story.
