On a cold chilly night,in a stadium filled with audience who came to watch the football match between 2 rival teams the cheerleaders all started waving their pink pompoms and starts dancing and jumping with slow movement. Suddenly a minion flipped onto another minion and made a heroic movement while trying to do a backflip and landing on the ground. But he tripped on a minion’s head and fell face first, onto the snowy, ice cold, wet ground. Then, the referree blew an agonisingly long whistle. First minion 1 gloomily kicked the ball to minion 2 who was staring melancholically while slowly kicking the ball which minion 1 passed to him toward the rusty goal. The ball rolled over and over for nearly 1 hour, finally reaching the goal. When the ball finally entered the goal, the goalie then tried to save the unsaveable shot (even though anyone could block it within that 1 hour). The crowd cheered in a gloomy way that did not sound like a cheer.

The next day, everyone was happy and energised again. M1 showed M2 and M3 a traditional japanese clothes that was certainly too big for him and it dragged along about 15 inches behind him. M2 and M3 giggled and said simultaneously “you look too silly.. that’s definitely oversized”. M1 went away and become M4 who wore a still oversized pants which covered his mouth, so he needed to use every bit of his energy to pull up the zipper that covered his mouth to speak. Next, they noticed a pair of overalls so M2, and M3 rushed up and grabbed them from the laundry line. Later that day they were walking on the crowded city street which was packed and impossible to run and jump around
