One day, Viraj and I were walking on the main road. But we got hit by Dr. Antonio’s shrink ray and we fell inside a shoe. And before we realised we were one tenth our size. We had shrunk!
Shortly after this we saw somebody packing the shoes in a shoe box. We saw the address on it. It was going to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He was a great footballer and we knew him and he knew us.
Viraj and I were falling everywhere in the box and I heard my friend scream “Get in the shoe, now!” We ran into the shoe and sat down there.
Suddenly, I heard a noise. It was water, that was filling the shoe box. Viraj and I held our breath. But thankfully we spotted a hole which was covered by the shoe. We moved the shoe and the water trickled out. When the driver saw the water coming out, he stopped the car.
“Be quick and hide,” I said.
He opened the shoe box and said, “Oh no. Sir is going to kill me. He needs these shoes for tomorrow’s game.”
Then he picked up the box and rang the bell at Mr. Zlatan’s house.
“Your shoes Sir,” said the man.
” Oh Yes. My Magistas,” replied Zlatan while paying the cash. Then he took the box to his room. He opened it and we screamed for him to see us. He lifted us in his palm and asked,
“How did you get in here?” We told him everything.
“Ok then. I will take you to my good friend Johnny Boomish’s house.”
“He is our neighbour,” Viraj exclaimed. Mr Boomish had been working on his big –I-Nator.
“When did you become a scientist “Zlatan asked.
“After I retired from the police force last Thursday” replied Johnny.
He fixed us in no time. Pranav, our common friend saw us when he was playing with Tyson, our dog, and asked, “What are you doing in Mr Boomish’s house?”
“Nothing!” Viraj and I screamed. “Remember the game is tomorrow. Here are your tickets. Please be there,” Zlatan told us. We took the tickets and went home.
