Narrator: Mr. Impossible could do the most amazing things.

(The camera cuts to a house in a nice area surrounded by bushes. The camera zooms out to show Mr. Impossible far behind the house)

Narrator: For instance, he could jump over a house.

Narrator: Impossible.

(Mr. Impossible jumps over the house backwards. The screen transitions to Mr. Impossible standing in the middle of a field with three flowers)

(Mr. Impossible starts fading away)

Narrator: And think about becoming invisible,

(Mr. Impossible becomes fully invisible)

Narrator: And he became invisible. Impossible.

(Mr. Impossible reappears. The scene then fades to a close-up of Mr. Impossible)

Narrator: And...

(The camera zooms out)

Narrator: Mr. Impossible could fly.

(Mr. Impossible starts flapping his arms)

(Mr. Impossible starts to fly)

William: Really?

Narrator: Said William.

Mr. Impossible: Sure am.

Narrator: Smiled Mr. Impossible.

(The camera cuts to William)

William: Can you do impossible things?

Narrator: Asked William.

(The camera cuts to Mr. Impossible)

Mr. Impossible: Haven't come across anything I couldn't do.

(The camera zooms out to show both William and Mr. Impossible)

Narrator: William thought.

(William points upwards)

William: Can you climb up that tree?

Narrator: He asked, pointing to the biggest tree in the wood.

(The camera zooms in on Mr. Impossible)

Mr. Impossible: I can do better than that,

Narrator: Replied Mr. Impossible.

Mr. Impossible: I can walk up that tree.

(The camera cuts to Mr. Impossible walking up the tree)

Narrator: And he did.

(Upon Mr. Impossible reaching the top of the tree, the camera cuts back to William)

Narrator: William thought again.

William: Can you, can you stand on one hand?

Narrator: He asked.

(Mr. Impossible floats back down to the ground)

Mr. Impossible: Oh, I can do better than that,

Narrator: Replied Mr. Impossible.

(The camera zooms out to show both William and Mr. Impossible)

Mr. Impossible: I can stand on no hands!

Narrator: And he did.

(Mr. Impossible takes his hat off and turns upside down. He is shown not standing on his hands but floating in midair upside down)

William (offscreen): Huh!

(The camera cuts to William)

William: That's impossible!

Narrator: Replied William.

(The camera zooms out to show both William and Mr. Impossible)

Mr. Impossible: Sure is.

Narrator: Replied Mr. Impossible.

(The camera cuts to William)

Narrator: Then William remembered that he was on his way to school.

(The camera zooms out to show both William and Mr. Impossible)

William: Why don't you come with me?

Narrator: He asked.

Mr. Impossible: But, uh, I've never been to a school before.

(The camera cuts to William)

William: Then it's time you did.

Narrator: Replied William.

William: Come on!

(The camera zooms in on William's face and transitions to William and Mr. Impossible sitting in the back of the class with eight other students present)

Students: (incoherent chattering)

Narrator: William and Mr. Impossible sat at the back of William's classroom with all the other children.

(The camera cuts to the teacher standing at the front of the classroom)

Narrator: The teacher came in, but didn't notice that there was somebody extra in his class that morning.

Teacher: Morning children.

Narrator: He said.

(The teacher points to the blackboard)

Teacher: I have a very difficult sum for you to do today.

(The camera zooms in on the teacher)

Teacher: It will take you most of the morning to work out the answer.

(The camera cuts to the teacher writing the difficult sum on the board. The sum is 4 + 3 + 2 + 7 + 5 + 1 + 9 - 2 - 7 - 8 - 5 - 4 - 3 * 2 * 4 * 5 * 3 * 7 / 2 / 4 / 10 + 2 = ?. The camera then shows the viewers the addition part of the sum)

Narrator: It really was the most difficult sum William had ever seen in the whole of his life. Full of adding up,

(The camera shows the viewers the subtraction part of the sum)

Narrator: And taking away,

(The camera shows the viewers the multiplication part of the sum)

Narrator: And multiplications,

(The camera shows the viewers the division part of the sum)

Narrator: And divisions,

(The camera zooms out and shows the viewer the whole sum)

Narrator: And other things Willian didn't enjoy. The teacher was right. It would indeed take most of the morning to work out the answer, if not most of the afternoon as well.

(The camera cuts over to Mr. Impossible whispering into William's ear)

Narrator: Mr. Impossible whispered in William's ear.

(William raises his hand with a smile on his face)

(The camera cuts to the teacher)

Teacher: Yes, William?

Narrator: Said the teacher

Teacher: Is there something about the sum that you don't understand?

(The camera cuts back to Mr. Impossible and William)

William: Please sir,

Narrator: Said William.

William: Is the answer 23?

(The camera cuts back to the teacher and slowly zooms out from his surprised face)

Teacher: How did you work out the sum so quickly?

Narrator: He asked.

Teacher: It's impossible.

(The camera cuts to the students. Mr. Impossible is shown behind a boy with short blonde hair)
