Tommy and his friend were playing with their toys. One of the toys was HULK holding a monster and getting ready to throw it. The kids were so astonished and amazed by HULK’s power. One of the kids brought a big wooden board and started to imitate HULK.” I will lift this alone, watch me, ng…ng…ng”. The board was so heavy and the kid slipped on the ground while he was trying. Tommy kept laughing at him. “oh, that’s so funny, you keep saying ng..ng but the board is not lifted.”
