Superman. Batman, Spiderman and all the rest why do we like them so much? I tried to think how great would it be to have your own personal super hero like Lois Lane has Superman. It would be so great to know nothing bad can happen to you because there's always someone who watches your back and protects you. But do our superheroes have to have superpowers? Can't normal people be our heroes? Any example? When I was little my father and mother were working very hard to earn money to send me and my sister too school, we didn't have much and we were also building a house, and I don't know how much you know about building a house in Europe but they are mostly made of bricks and not of wood so it's very expensive to build one. Anyway, I consider my parents superheroes! They sacrificed themselves for many years and they were living just for my sister and me to be able to provide for everything we needed. Usually super power is just one way we deal with everyday problems. I know a man who lives in the village. He is a farmer and has some pigs and cows and he also grows potato and different vegetables. There's this neighbor of his I had chance to talk to recently. She is an older women who's husband barely walks because he has high blood sugar and that affected his foot. This woman also grows potato but as she is by herself, because they don't have children, she can't do it alone. So last time I talked to her she told me how she needed someone to plow the soil. Anyway she told me that one morning at 4 o'clock she hear some noise outside of the house and saw that farmer from the beginning of the story plowing and she had never asked him to do it. He just knew she needed someone to do it and he did it. Can you believe that? Isn't that man a real hero?
