The Story of He, It and Someone

   In 1287, under the sea was a sea lion. A sea lion named He. He had one goal in mind. Someday, He would steal the moon! His father once told him whoever stole the moon would get one wish come true. He’s dream was to be a real lion because he always thought that lions were brave and strong.
      Therefore, one day He decided to steal the moon. As soon as He began his journey, He saw a beautiful coral reef. He heard a noise coming from it. He decided to see what it was. He saw a man shouting, ‘Help! Help!’ The man was wearing a white coat. He approached the man and asked, ‘Are you Okay? Who are you?’
      ‘Please, help me! I am stuck in the past, the present and the future!’ said the man. ‘My name will be Someone!’ the man continued.
      He was worried and asked Someone, ‘How can I help you?’
      ‘Help me only to be in the present,’ said Someone.
      He smacked Someone. Someone was flabbergasted. ‘Why did you do that?’ asked Someone. Then he realized he was talking normally! He had smacked the past and the future out of Someone! Someone gratefully thanked He. He gave He a ray gun and went back home.
      He continued his journey and kept swimming until he spotted a shipwreck in the distance. He decided to go and sit there since he was tired. As soon as He swam in, he saw the tallest chair he had ever seen! It was as tall as the sunken ship. He quickly swam to the top of the chair and sat down on it. He suddenly heard a muffled voice. It was the chair! Immediately, He apologized and stopped sitting on the chair. ‘It’s alright. My name is It,’ said the chair with a sad tone.
      ‘My name is He. Are you Okay? You seem sad,’ asked He.
      ‘I have always wanted to be a stool ever since I was born but I’m too tall,’ replied It.
      ‘Maybe you could be an NBA player! You would definitely be a good player!’ He suggested.
      So, It trialled to be an NBA player. It scored five hundred and seventy-two points in three minutes.
      He continued his journey and finally arrived at his destination – the beach. It was the closest distance to the moon he could get without suffocating.
      How could He get to the moon?
      At that moment, It appeared! It did a massive jump to take the moon and gave it to He. He finally got his wish – TO BECOME A LION! He partied with Simba, hunted zebras and played basketball with It every day for the rest of his life!
