“ Yes ! Nuts and berries . I love them more than anything .” The governor began singing a horrible song . “ I love nuts and berries , I love nuts and berries , and they are the best ! They are wonderful ….” All the guards covered their ears and Nyroc couldn ’ t blame them . This was the most horrible song Nyroc had ever heard of .
“ Shut up !” Nyroc screeched . He also had his hands over his ears . The governor stopped singing . Nyroc sighed with relief .
“ You do not like my song ?” The governor was frowning . “ You still haven ’ t explain what rediculos is . I want to know .” “ Ridiculous means stupid , I think .” Nyroc said , rolling his eyes . The governor ’ s crazy face went red with rage . The guards cowered back . “ I AM THE GOVERNOR ! I AM THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN SHANGHAI ! YOU DARE INSULTING ME ?” The governor breathed heavily . Nyroc was scared , but he did not move . “ Guards , arrest this fool !” The guards surrounded Nyroc . He backed up towards the red wooden wall . Once Nyroc touched the wall , a bright light glowed . In a flash , he was back in the museum . The painting wasn ’ t moving anymore . Had he imagined it ? No , it couldn ’ t be ! He was still wearing the governor ’ s robe !
Nyroc had some spare clothes inside his bag , so he quickly changed into his own clothes . He put the governor ’ s robe into his bag . When he got out of the exhibition hall , he saw his teacher . “ Nyroc ! Where were you ?” His teacher led him outside , where his classmates were waiting . “ As I was saying , tomorrow will be dress up day , so remember to dress up as some kind of characters .” His teacher said .
Nyroc smiled . He knew exactly what to dress up .
