Misty had always wanted to be a superhero and always dreamed of having super powers. Every Halloween, she designed costumes so she could look like a hero. She often had a mask (面罩) so everyone could tell she was someone who could save the world.
One day, as she looked into the mirror, Misty realized she could no longer see herself. She had become invisible (隐身的)! She had no idea why this happened or how long her powers would last, but she couldn’t wait to help people. She ran to the streets, looking for criminals, and surprising them when they didn’t realize anyone was there. By the end of the day, she had stopped three bank robbers (强盗) and two shoplifters. It had been a wonderful day for her!
The next day, she woke up and discovered she was still invisible, she went out and did much of what she had done the day before. Whispers of some unknown hero were starting to spread through the streets.
Newspaper reporters wanted to write stories about the mysterious (神秘的) hero, but no one knew who the new hero was or where to find the hero. Misty smiled to herself. If they only knew, she thought, they wouldn’t believe it. She could hardly believe it herself. After a whole week of being a superhero, Misty was starting to become a bit tired.
Being a hero was a good thing, but it took a lot of work to run from place to place, catching criminals and tying up bad guys. She was tired, and since she couldn’t see her reflection, she had no idea if she looked as bad as she was starting to feel.
The next morning, Misty woke up and saw her reflection in the mirror. She could see herself again. She knew it was the end to her days as a superhero, but it didn’t mean she had to stop helping people. That day, as she went into work, she held the door open for three people and helped two elderly people carry their groceries.
For sure, she wasn’t saving the world anymore, but it still felt good to help in any way she could!
