Children, come and challenge the limits of your imagination with Pipilù! While listening to the radio, Pipilù accidentally broke the tuning knob and discovered a secret station. From the conversations, he learned about an impending event. But knowing what was going to happen wasn’t a good thing—Pipilù was framed. How was Pipilù framed? Don’t miss Pipilù’s Misfortune. This book also includes other exciting stories like Sleep Shock Wave, Flying Horse Brand Car, and PC International Marriage.
Pipilù pulled two wires from his semiconductor radio and connected them to the TV. A miracle occurred—the screen displayed the images of many classmates from his class twenty years later. Pipilù couldn’t recognize them at all. Look at Xu Pingping—now so short, but in twenty years, he’ll be over 1.80 meters tall! Pipilù turned off the TV and dashed to Teacher Xu’s house. She was thrilled. Seeing her students with their own future selves in person wasn’t a rare educational opportunity?
“Pipilù, bring your semiconductor radio to school tomorrow morning. I’ll borrow the school’s TV for our class to see everyone,” Teacher Xu suggested.
“Great!” Pipilù agreed immediately.
Ever since he added an amplifier to the radio, mysterious frequencies appeared anytime, day or night. That night, Pipilù was so excited he barely slept.
Pipilù is like that kind of child: no matter how much the teacher scolds or teases him, he doesn’t hold it against her. But if the teacher is kind to him once, he never forgets it.
The next day, the students in Class 4 (6) were thrilled to hear they’d be watching TV in class. A few boys carried the school’s color TV over. Pipilù connected his semiconductor radio to the TV.
“Everyone must be curious to see what you’ll look like in twenty years,” Teacher Xu said. “Pipilù has modified his radio, so now we can see it in advance!”
Pipilù turned on the TV. Everyone held their breath—the room was so quiet you could hear the sound of blinking eyes. What did they see?
