A Hero Beyond Time

Those Crazy Days

Hi there.... I'm Aiden Swift and I'll be 15 at the end of this month. My friends call me Aiden. They say I'm too immature for my age as I'm bit naughty and a crazy invention and science freak. I love to play with everything around me. I have a younger sister, her name is Silvia Swift..She's known as Silvia in our neighborhood. She's a tall girl with blue eyes and elegant black hair which almost makes a garment for her. She's 12 years old but has got a brain of a professional in every field.. Ah..being frank I can rightly call her 'JACK OF ALL TRADES'. She gives me all kind of advice whenever and wherever needed. Next in the line is the cutest member in our family . His name is Joe, a Siberian Husky. He's an integral part of our family. He has the ability to understand exactly what we say to him.

It was the month of June, here in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We had moved here from Lancashire, England. As mom and dad were searching for a school to enroll us into but his searches went in vain as we had to wait till January for the admission to open up. So we used to go the ground near our house to sit and relax during the day time. Silvia and I had once built a treehouse completely filled with creative gadgets and invention of all kinds. We always have somekind of argument between us but once if we get together we drive the world crazy. As we both were interested in doing something innovative we give our heart and soul in our work. Joe follows us wherever we go. We have made a small house for him in the ground in which he goes and sleep for hours as we were busy with our works.

It was one fine Saturday and we went to the ground as part as our daily routine with Joe following us. But something strange happened Joe was not to leave us today. I asked to Silvia sitting under the tree "Hey Silvia.... What's up with Joe.. Usually he goes into his house for a short nap right?? And why is he just sitting here today??" . Silvia was too wondering about the same thing. Silvia turned towards Joe and asked him "Joe??! What's wrong with you?? Aren't you gonna go for your daily routine nap?". Well, Joe replied to us with a simple "Woof" . But soon in 15 minutes he started to bark without a time gap. Joe was like " Woof.....woof...wooooooo...wof...wof". He started howling ferociously. We got freaked at a second with Silvia asking me " Oh....oh...oh... my...... God Ai........Ai.....Aiden... What's happening to Joe..?? He never behaves such way!!! What on earth is going on with Joe??" . I could sense Silvia was panicking. All I knew was that Joe had sensed something. I replied to Silvia " Cool down silv.... He must have sensed something.. Even I too wonder what's up to Joe..!! Well... We'll make a translating device that can make Joe talk ... Are you ready??". Silvia though in fear replied " Ye...yeah... You're ri...right.. We'll do....that.....Jeez my words are tumbling... Ah stumbling...." . No sooner did Silvia made an error in her reply than I started laughing. I said to Silvia" Oh...My... Haha... Tumbling.... haha.. That was ....a good....good one Silvia... I can't stop laughing.. Oh my God" . Silvia got annoyed at me and started scolding "Hey..you...stop it.. There's nothing funny in this you dumbo.. Everyone stammers when they are in fear. And you Aiden...Better stop laughing or you'll repent for laughing at me" . Well... This is how our daily argument starts..Funny isn't it??

Then Silvia and I decided to make a device that can make Joe talk... We started working on it..Soon within two days we had completed our work... I said to Silvia"Wow!!!! We did it..This must be it..Now Joe must be able to talk". I was overexcited as usual.. I again said to Silvia" I'm too excited to hear Joe talk...What kind of voice will he have?! How's he gonna call us?? Oh my god?!! Aren't you excited Silvia??" . Silvia replied back as "My comments are reserved!". Her reply terribly disappointed me but not my excitement on making Joe talk. We fitted the device on Joe. But my hopes fainted as Joe just made a simple "Woof" again. Silvia couldn't control her laughter. She said to me laughing "That's how Joe has decided to call you". As I'm not a serious type I took her words jovially and started to laugh with her. But this time we were even more determined to make a device that can make Joe talk like normal human beings and again Silvia and I started working on it...........
