In Chapter 3, we read the comic book that George and Harold created. The comic introduces Captain Underpants, a silly superhero who wears only underwear and a cape. Captain Underpants is brave and strong, but also very funny.

In the comic, Captain Underpants fights bad guys and saves people in silly and unexpected ways. The story is full of jokes, exaggeration, and funny pictures. This chapter shows how creative George and Harold are and helps us understand the kind of superhero they imagine before he becomes part of the real story.Send me a message for your free copy of this book to follow along.

وُلِدْتُ فِي مِيلاَن وَلَكِنْ لاَ أَتَذَكَّر البَيْت لِأَنَّنا رَحَلْنَا إِلَى كَانَازِي. كُنَّا نَسْكُن فِي بِنَايَة لَهَا سِتَّة طَوَابِق.
كُنَّا نَسْكُن في شَقَّة, الشَّقَّة كَانت فِي الطَّابِق الثَّالِث. الْبِنَايَة كَانَت فِي شارِع خَاصّ فِي قَرْيَة صَغِيرَة فِي الْجِبَال.  
الشَّقَّة كَانَ لَهَا ثَلاَث غُرَف وَحَمَّامَان. وَفِي كُلّ غُرْفَة النَّوم هُنَاك مَكان لِأَرْبَع أَشْخَاص, كُلَّ غُرْفَة النَّوم كَانَ لَها طَابِقَان مِثْلَ دُوبْلِكْس.
الدِيكُور كَان تَقْلِيدِي لِلْمِنْطَقَة الشَّمَالِيَّة الْجِبالِيَّة الإِيطَالِيَّة وَالألْمَانِيَّة. 
أَحْبَبْتُ الْمِنْطَقَة وَالشَّقَّة لِأَنَّهَا مُرِيحَة وَدَافِئَة. 
الْمِنْطَقَة مَشْهُورَة بِالتَّزَلُّج فِي الشِّتَاء وَالمَشْي عَلَى الْجِبال. هِيَ مِنْطَقَة مَلِيئَة بِالطَّبِيعَة مِثْلَ الْجِبَال وَالغَابَات.
ذِكْرَياتِي الْمُفَضَّلَة هِي التَّجَوُّل في الرِّيف خِلاَل الصَّيف مَع وَالِدَيّ.
كُنْتُ أَعْمَل فِي مَزْرَعَة خُيُول, وَكَانَ عُمْرِي إِثْنَا عَشَر سَنَة وَ كُنُتُ أُحِبُّ رُكُوب الْخَيْل.
الْقَرْيَة مَشْهُورَة بِالرِّيَاضَة المَوْسُمِيَّة 
أَظُنُّ أَنَّ أَكْبَر مُشْكِلَة هِيَّ أَنَّ الْجِبَال وَالْغَابَات مُتَأَثِّرَة بِالاِحْتِرَار الْعَالَمِي 
وَليس هناك حَلّ لِهَذِهِ الْمُشْكِلَة
