What if we couldn’t Stop doing Karate? |

AumSum was practicing a few karate moves he'd seen in a movie. A light punch here, a quick kick there. Nothing too serious. But suddenly, something strange happened. His arms wouldn’t stop chopping, and his legs wouldn’t stop kicking.

He tried sitting down to rest, but his legs popped into a horse stance all by themselves. When he reached for a glass of water, his hand chopped right through it. Water splashed everywhere.

The town grew nervous. Every street corner had someone doing karate. People couldn’t drive because their arms kept chopping the steering wheel. Others couldn’t sleep, eat, or even hold a pen. AumSum realized this wasn’t just his problem. Everyone had caught the strange karate bug.

Determined to help, AumSum thought back to the one person who might know something about this - Master Tanaka, the old retired karate champion who lived in a quiet hut at the edge of the forest. With spinning kicks and careful flips, AumSum made his way through the forest, knocking down branches and jumping over rocks as his body kept moving on its own.

When he arrived, the old master was already outside, calmly sweeping his porch with graceful movements. He too was doing karate - but in perfect control. AumSum bowed automatically, nearly kicking a flowerpot. Master Tanaka smiled and handed him a glowing jade pendant.

The pendant had accidentally cracked and a mysterious energy had escaped from it. That energy was making everyone do karate. Only someone with a pure soul could make the pendant absorb the energy back.

Without hesitation, AumSum took the pendant. Miraculously, it floated in the air and pulled the mysterious energy from all over the town into itself. The town grew quiet. The karate craze had ended. AumSum again emerged as the hero.
