The Story of S

Chapter 3

The next day at dinner, Shifu continued the story.

"As we got older we both got more competitive. I was invited here by Master Oogway, and S joined boxing. X was never competitive. He always got straight A's in school, and he joined a math club. One day, S decided to try something else, so he tried to join a baseball team. When he tried out, he thought it was like boxing and he thought that you hit each other with bats."

*Flashback*

"What's your name young man?" The baseball coach asked.

"My name is S." S said.

"Really? No offence, but that's a strange name."

"Actually, my name is Shick, but I don't like that name, so everyone calls me S."

"We will start tryouts now." Everyone lined up. S was last.

"Okay, show me what you got." The coach said.

"Okay." S hit him with the bat.

"What are you doing?"

"What? I thought that you hit each other with bats."

"No! The pitcher throws the ball and you hit the ball, not each other!"

"Ohhhh… okay, 'cause all that time I was wondering why they were doing that."

The coach felt like hitting his head against a wall. The pitcher threw the ball. S missed it. He threw the ball two more times and S missed it both times.

"Dang it!" S said.

"Sorry, kid. That's three strikes. You're out." The coach said.

"What? You mean I didn't make the team?" S said.

"I'm afraid so. Better luck next time."

S walked away with an angry look on his face.

*End of flashback*

"Wow. S wasn't very smart, was he?" Po said.

"Yeah, he could be pretty stupid sometimes, but he wasn't stupid when it came to boxing," Shifu said.

"Wait. How did you have that flashback? You weren't involved in that," Crane said.

"I watched the whole thing in the bleachers," Shifu answered.

"Oh," Crane said.

"After that, I laughed at him and he punched me. I never laughed at him again because his punch was really hard. I also knew he was really good at boxing and I knew that if I ever laughed at him again, I would get more than just a punch. Oh, he also said that, too. 'If you ever laugh at me again, you will get more than just a punch.' I took the threat seriously because he never joked around." Shifu said. He thought for a minute.

"Hey, do you want to know one of his secrets?" His students nodded.

"Okay. S was very good at knitting." His students burst out laughing. Po almost fell off his chair.

"Seriously?" Mantis said.

"How often do I joke around? Yes. He always tried not to let anyone know because he knew that everyone would laugh at him. I found out though. I didn't let him know because I knew that he would probably kill me."

"How did S get involved in knitting in the first place?" Monkey asked.

"Well, we weren't very rich and we didn't have many clothes, so he got so desperate that he decided to make his own. We always asked him how he got those clothes, but he would never tell us. My mother thought maybe he stole them, but X said that wasn't possible because there was no tag on his shirts."

His students laughed. "X said that maybe S made the shirts, but S denied it and it forever remained a mystery to my mother and X because I wouldn't tell them." Shifu said.

For a while, everyone just sat at the table and finished their food.

Shifu stood up. "Goodnight everyone. I will finish the story tomorrow."
