Timing is Key

During the Japanese Occupation Mike, Sam and Ben were caught for smuggling. They were sentenced to death by firing squad.

That night, Mike 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, Mike was led to the wall. The firing squad was lined up and the Captain commanded, "Ready.. Aim..", but before he could complete, shouted, " Earthquake!! Earthquake!" The Japanese soldiers panicked and Mike made his escape.

Later, the soldiers took Sam out and the firing squad were ready. The captain commanded, "Ready... Aim..." This time Sam shouted. " Flood! Flood!!" Again, the Japanese soldiers panicked and this time, Sam made his escape.

After observing all this, ben began to get the idea. "It's important to get the timing right."

Soon, it was Ben's turn. "Timing, that's the key.." Ben kept saying to himself. The soldiers lined up in front of him. The captain started, "Ready..."

"Timing," Ben thought to himself

"Aim..."

"Okay," thought Ben, and shouted, " FIRE!!! FIRE!!! "
