Hank Stock is being interviewed by Bob Clapp, from Channel 9 TV.

Bob          Hi! I’m Bob Clapp. I’m standing on Fogg Street in Dallas, Texas.

                 I’m with Hank Stock.

                 He says he’s the strongest man in the USA.

                 Is that correct, Hank?

Hank        Yes it is, Bob. I’m as strong as ten men.

Bob          And tell us, Hank, how did you get so strong?

Hank        Well Bob, I began by lifting things like sacks of spuds and bags full of sand.

                 Next I lifted stacks of bricks and big rocks.

                 Then I lifted men.

Bob          Men, Hank?

Hank        Yes Bob. Last Sunday I lifted six men. Big men.

Bob          At the same time?

Hank        Correct, Bob.

Bob          And did it all go well?

Hank        Well, yes and no Bob.  I did drop one man.

                 Crash! He landed on his back. Crack! He busted his leg.

Bob          And what will you lift today, Hank?

Hank        I have a big test today, Bob. A very big test.

Bob          Will you lift a hut, Hank?

Hank        No Bob, huts are for mugs.

Bob          A truck, maybe?

Hank        A truck? Nuts to trucks, Bob!

Bob          A tank then? Will you lift a tank, Hank?

Hank        Tanks stink, Bob.

Bob          Then what is it, Hank?

                 What will you lift for us today, live on Channel 9 TV?

Hank        Today, Bob, I will lift a shop.

Bob          A shop, Hank?

Hank        A shop. I’ll lift it, twist it and toss it up and down.

                 I am the strongest man in the USA, Bob.

                                        ……………………………

Bob          This is it.  Hank is bending down.

                 He’s picking up Rick’s Gift Shop.

                 He’s lifting it!

                 He’s standing still, with a shop on his head!

                 Hank Stock is a shop lifter!

                 He’s twisting it!

                 He’s tossing it up and down!

                 This is fab! This is brill!!

                 But hang on ...... oh no!

                 He’s sinking!

                 Hank is sinking in the soft sandy ground.

                 The shop is bashing him into it like a hammer!

                 It’s crushing him!

Hank          Help!!!!!
