Puntata 2. PRENDIAMO UN CAFFÉ?

It was dark, cold and wet. A strong gust of wind was carrying rain in through a broken window. Lightening had struck the window, which exploded and sent shattered glass all over the floor and desk.

Rain was pooling on Superman’s keyboard and he felt drops seeping into his deeper electronics. Severely uncomfortable electric shocks rushed through his body. Wires leading to his CPU had short circuited, preventing any serious damage. 

In response to the short circuit, Superman’s alarm system roared like a lion. It was a built-in feature which informed the user that internal damage had been done. 

“Superman!” cried his owner, who was sitting up in his bed, frightened by the lightning strike. The young man jumped up and ran over to the shattered glass to shield his laptop from the wind and rain. In such an emergency situation, the first thing the owner did was to turn off Superman’s power. He then closed the lid and covered Superman in some clothes so he could attend to the glass and broken window. 

That’s it! I’m done for! I’m dead! Goodbye my sweet owner, my sweet 
simulations! I’ll never again simulate the movement of microwaves through 
circuits and electrical components. My life’s work, my life’s passion, gone… 
Goodbye world… 

And with those final thoughts, Superman powered down into unconsciousness

Les souriceaux chamailleurs
Ted et Teddy, les souriceaux, sont d'abominables garnements. Dans la grande chambre, où papa et maman tentent de les border, ils mènent un tapage infernal. C'est alors que passe la fée Souris. Elle dépose un peu de poudre de sommeil sur l’oreiller de chacun. Rapidement, les paupières se font lourdes et Ted et Teddy s’endorment paisiblement. Ils feront des rêves délicieux…
