The Day I Became a Superhero!

It was a bad day. Bad period of life I will say. I felt so sad.

I watched this superhero cartoons and movies and I wanted to be just like them.

They all saved lives. Why can't I do that? And then a chance for that arrived.

The evil monster came, spreading poison everywhere and all I wanted to do is stop him and

save all the others.

How can we fight him? I asked myself..

The answer was pretty simple.

People were trying out very hard to find a cure. People were arguing about everything.

People were all giving suggestions what should be or should not be done.

The answer was easy. We just had to stop him spreading with incubation.

We could show the monster who we are with a very simple choice:

a) show compassion, stay home and become a superhero;

b) stay ignorant, go out and be the villain.

I chose A and I put my superhero mode: ON.

I isolated myself. I was thinking about everybody.

My family, my friends, people I don't even know.

And I was also thinking a lot more about the boy I like. When will I see all of them again?

Will I get the chance to hug them one more time? Will everything be the same after this?

Because this evil monster was pretty great at doing his job to distance the whole world.

To make people hate each other. To make people fight. To make people angry.

To spread negative energy everywhere.

But a lot of negative energy inside you can make you suffer a lot.

It can spread a lot of diseases in you.

It can also make you suffer from depression.

And that is not always that bad if you know just how to use it wisely.

Depression can make you activate your brain more.

Depression can make you stronger.

Depression can make you change for the better.

And it can make you choose: use your illness to see the beauty of life and survive, or use

your illness to see the ugliness and surrender.

Although I have trust issues, I always try my very best to see the positive sides of

everything, so I would not become depressed again.

The evil monster made me think. A lot.

The evil monster made me write. A lot.

The evil monster gave me back my superpowers.

The power to see things from a lot more perspectives.

To understand humanity. To accept that perfection does not exist.

To accept that there will always be differences between me and the others.

To accept that things will never go out as I have imagined them or planned them to.

The evil monster gave me back my superpowers.

The ones I forgot I had and I haven't used since I was a little kid. My ability to write.

My ability to paint. My ability to relax my brain by staying at home.

The evil monster gave me time to explore, to look out for and try out some new

superpowers I didn't even knew I could have them in me.

Do you know what the evil monster can do to you?

He can make you realize just how beautiful life is.

If you are in a fight with someone, he can make you realize that you have to forgive and

forget.

If you are shy and insecure, he can give you back your self confidence by giving you extra

time to work on yourself.

If you are still lonely between hundreds of people, he can make you realize who is the only

one you really think of when we are all equal.

He can make you realize what is the missing piece inside your puzzle and find out exactly

what you need to become happy and peaceful.

He can make you realize that the place you come from does not matter.

He can make you realize that the color of your skin does not matter.

He can make you realize that the religion is good, but it should not be a reason to divide us.

The evil monster can make you realize that we are all only human.

And we will always make mistakes.

Our job is to help each other, to forgive, to forget, to accept ourselves and the others and to

continue to live.

I made this mini book and I think this is just the right time to put it out to the world.

I hope you will all enjoy them.

The Rikushimokuari Family

This is Kurushikinokitekiari !

He has his own place where you can buy food, water and everything you need, called market

Kurushikinokitekiari, just like his own name.

Kurushikinokitekiari has a superpower ability - kindness and peacefulness.

When you see him, your heart melts, as you can sense his good heart when he speaks.

Kurushikinokitekiari likes dogs and he takes care of them very well.

He is a very good Ninja in our Universe and his kindness makes him so special!

He knows that Co-Flu is back in town, so he is scared for all of the people.

That is why he has the supeprpower ability to take care of the others by showing how much

he cares for all of the people, doesn’t matter where they come from.

Hey! We must call him to use his superpower Kindness so he can melt Co-Flu’s heart!

Let’s fight Co-Flu together with kindness, so he will not be able to make us angry!

Can we, Ninjas?!

This is Co-Flu! He again, ran away from his locked room!

Look at the colors he already possesed!

He doesn’t care which color you are or where you come from.

He doesn’t care which religion you are.

He doesn’t care about anything, I told you!

His only goal is to spread poison everywhere.

But damn, Ninjas! He is so good at it!

He traveled all around the world and he came to the place of Ninjas called Jishikukumiku!

We must stop him! Faster Ninjas!

Let’s go out together and fight him!

We can’t become bad Ninjas just because of only ONE bad Co-Flu! :@

We are stronger than that!

This is a very skilled Ninja with a diploma, called Jikikatotokiari!

He works as a Takameifukushi in the country called Jishikukumiku!

We are all superheroes, remember?! Doesn’t matter the place where we live!

He has his superhero ability The Red Bubbles coming out from his brain.

With the Brainy Red Bubbles of his and the kindness of Kurushikinokitekiari we can win

the Co-Flu so easily!

But hey, wait a minute!

We must call our Ninja, Tekikatoka!!

Where is she?!

OMG! :O

Maybe Co-Flu catched her!!! :@

We must save her! FASTER NINJAS!

This is our strong Ninja Arikamekiari!

He stays at his place in the country of Jishikukumiku called hotel Chishimonokimikatoka!

If you are sometimes tired from saving the world, you can go at his awesome hotel

Chishimonokimikatoka.

The best place where you can rest!

It’s where all the superhero Ninjas from all around the Ninja Universe go!

When he touches something, a magic happens!

He has the ability to take off his hands and a new ones will grow up on him!

Woo hoo!

Let’s fight the evil monster Co-Flu with the superpower of his!

“Tekikatoka, where are you!? We are coming to save you, don’t worry Ninja!” – they all

shouted out loud together.

This is our superhero Tokimemoari!

He has a place to stay, just like our other Ninja Arikamekiari !

His place is called camp Motetefuarikukika!

When Tekikatoka visits the Ninja country of Jishikukumiku, she stays there for months!

She adores it!

But hey!

We think Co-Flu got her, man!

Let’s save her!

He joined the other Ninjas and they went out looking for Tekikatoka!

“We are coming to save you, Tekikatoka! We want you to come this summer to

Jishikukumiku again! We will help you!” – said Tokimemoari

“OMG, Tekikatoka, you are just fine! Why didn’t you called us on the phone or eventually

wrote to us?! We were so scared that Co-Flu got you, Ninja! Don’t do this to us! I thought

Co-Flu is evil, but you are more evil for ignoring us like this!” – they all screamed together,

when they saw Tekikatoka staying peacefully in her house.

“Oh, I’m so sorry Mighty Ninjas, I hope you will forgive me! You see how many hands I

have. I have to work so hard these days and I really, really got tired. I needed some time

alone and I needed some privacy. I am a superhero, just like you, but I don’t have the

powers to save the world every day. Will you ever find a place in your hearts to forgive me?

Look at how many tasks I’m doing right now ” – she said to them with tears in her eyes.

All of the Ninjas were happy to see that Tekikatoka is alright, so they forgave her instantly!

She promised not to ignore them never again and she promised she will always write to

them so they won’t have to worry! WooHooo! Happiness!

Tekikatoka didn’t caught Co-Flu this time, but hey, every other Ninja was doing great job

even without her!

That’s what is very, very important!

You have to learn to be independent and to not wait for her to save the day!

We must all want by ourselves to save the world, isn’t that right?!

All of the other Ninjas fought so hard with Co-Flu this day, and they didn’t make him

escape!

Co-Flu is again so angry because of being caught again..

Damn!

We must teach him not to be angry to anybody, because keeping anger in yourself can make

you very resentful.

And we don’t want that to happen to anybody, isn’t that right?!

In our Ninja Universe it is always all about the peace, love and positive energy!

Bai-Bai Mighty Ninjas!

Don’t forget to

Take care of yourselves, love yourselves and show your happiness to the world, that is how

you will love all of the others! <3
