As part of Autism Awareness Week 2019, which runs until Sunday, April 7, the Longford Leader is posting the thrilling Super Potato series, written by Gaelscoil Longfoirt pupil Jamie O'Neill. Jamie is 10 years old and is on the spectrum and we must say, he's an excellent storyteller.

Mr Broccoli was angry that the nuke didn't destroy the city, so he decided to go with plan B and released The Broccoli Bot 2000.

Super Potato was flying around the city and he saw the robot. The Broccoli Bot 2000 shot a missile at him but Super Potato managed to dodge it.

Then the Broccoli Bot 2000 stepped on him but he did not die. He flew up from under his feet and knocked him over.

Then Mr Super Carrot threw a carrot at the robot and it exploded.

Then Mr Broccoli was angry and decided to call John Wick.

...to be continued.
