Class Exercise on Hitler

HITLER WAS AFRAID OF CATS


Officer: The cats that you imprisoned have escaped.

Hitler: HUH? Did those beasts thought that they could escape from me? Those fools!

The Officer Nods

Hitler: Then I want my armed soldiers to take action this instant!  Do you think that I’ve stayed here because I have a lot of work to do? That’s a lie! Because of their furry face, I’m terrified! Terrified! Terrified!

The Simpson's 1 sentence pitch & 3 act

SYNOPSIS 

Bart uses his new miniature "spy" camera to take candid pictures around
the household; meanwhile, Homer is preparing to go to a bachelor party
for his co-worker at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. While at the
party, Homer is invited to dance on stage with a stripper. Bart (who is
dining with the rest of the family in the next-door restaurant) uses his
camera to snap a photo of Homer and the dancer having a great time. At
school, Martin develops the picture, which - after he compliments Bart's
work - gets distributed around school, and eventually around town.
Marge sees the photo and is outraged. Homer arrives home, where
Marge immediately confronts her husband and kicks him out of the
house. Eventually, Marge agrees to let him back in on the condition he
take Bart around to meet the stripper and show that she is not a sex
object. After almost winding up on stage at another of the dancer's
performances, Homer does as he is asked and all is forgiven.

Story 5

Tired of The Same Food
"A cat wants to try different food once in a while, by helping a rat stealing cheese in the kitchen.”
“Rustle, rustle”
A group of rats went out to hunt for their food. It’s late at night. A strong wind voice can be heard. The wind carried the leaves away. I wander to find some cheese, my favorite food. My name is Ben, a normal rat who lives in sewers. Nowaday, a lot of rat died. Some of them get caught in a trap, some of them dead by starvation, and some of them eaten by our fearsome enemy, cats.
I arrived at a small house. The kitchen looks awesome, I can see a lot of food there. There must be some cheese, I suppose. Then, I sneak to the back door. Silently, silently.
“Shrug , shrug!” A voicestep! Oh no, who is it? I turned around to look. It have four legs and glowing eyes.
“CAAAAAAAAAAAT!” I yelled. Before I am able to ran away, the cat grabbed my tail. I am going to meet my end. I am going to die. That’s what I think. I closed my eyes.
“Sst. Silent. I’m not going to kill you. I need your cooperation!” said the cat.
I opened my eyes. “Cooperation? Are you not going to eat me?”
“No, I get sick of rats. I want to try different taste.”
“Then, what do you want?” I asked.
“I want cheese. Your food. It looks awesome.”
Oh, how unusual. I said to myself. So , the cat need me to steal the cheese for him, because we are more experienced in stealing cheese. In exchange, the cat will not kill me and will guard me during my mission.
We have a deal, and we move silently. We enter the house via the backdoor. The door is opened, so we can enter. Snoring sounds can be heard. That seems the owner of this house all asleep.
“Hey look! I saw a cheese!” I said, pointing to the cheese in the floor.
“Blah, rats are so stupid. That’s why your kind get caught easily. No treasure can be found without effort. Look closely. That’s a trap..” said the cat.
Ooops. The cat saved my life. How weird. To be frank, this is my second time hunting for food. I am unexperienced.
“Ok rat, I will take the lead for now on.” The cat walks past me.
“Sst! I hear footsteps!” said the cat. I can see from the shadow. It has four legs. Similar to a cat body.
“DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG!” The cat yelled. The dog start to chase the cat, who comes to my direction. But, as soon as the dog sees me. His face turn pale.
“RATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!” He yelled and ran away to the staircase.
“I just knew that dogs afraid of rats.” Said the cat.
“Well, who knows?” I said.
Then we arrived at the kitchen. We stole some cheese, and we have a successful mission today. The cat also satisfied with the cheese.
“This is much better than rats !” he said while eating his cheese in the way.
“Yeah, so stop hunting rats, we can hunt together next time.”
“Hm. Not a bad idea.” He said.
