Ah Beng's HOT shOt
During the Japanese Occupation, 3 Singaporeans, Ah Meng, Ah Seng
and Ah Beng were caught for smuggling. They were sentenced to death
by firing squad.
That night, Ah Meng came up with a plan. He told the others that
the Japanese were afraid of natural disasters. So he would cause
them to panic, and escape in the confusion.
The next morning, Ah Meng was led to the wall. The firing squad was
lined up and the Captain commanded, "Ready.. Aim..", but before he
could complete, Ah Meng shouted, " Earthquake!! Earthquake!" The
Japanese soldiers panicked and Ah Meng made his escape.
Later, the soldiers took Ah Seng out and the firing squad were
ready. The captain commanded, "Ready... Aim..." This time Ah Seng
shouted. " Flood! Flood!!" Again, the Japanese soldiers panicked
and this time, Ah Seng made his escape.
Observing all this, Ah Beng began to get the idea. "It's important
to get the timing right."
Soon, it was Ah Beng's turn. "Timing, that's the key.." Ah Beng
kept saying to himself. The soldiers lined up in front of him. The
captain started, "Ready..."
"Timing," Ah Beng thought to himself
"Aim..."
"Okay," thought Ah Beng, and shouted, " FIRE!!! FIRE!!! "
