And every day Jane wears Superсat outfit.
Alright, our next word is outfit. Outfit means a special set of clothes. Supercat outfit is a special set of clothes that Supercat wears. A special set of clothes that she puts on and she wears. Like Superman outfit or Batman outfit or Spiderman outfit. You get the idea, right? Jane wears Supercat outfit every day.
One day Jane is walking along the street. And she sees raccoons robbing a jewelry shop.
Here we have the verb to rob. To rob means to take money or something illegally. Jane sees raccoons taking money and jewelries from the shop illegally.
Our next word is a jewelry shop. Of course, you know what it means, but one more time let me explain it to you. A jewelry shop is a shop where you can buy jewelries. Its easy. You can go buy things like: rings, bracelets and necklaces. And you can put them on and wear them.
From the story we know what Jane does next, right?
She runs to the jewelry shop. She catches the raccoons. And suddenly Supercat appears. I mean real Supercat appears. She helps Jane bring the raccoons to the police station.
Here I want you to focus on the word to bring. To bring here means to carry or take something or someone to somewhere. In our case, Supercat helps Jane carry the raccoons to the police station. Supercat helps Jane take the raccoons to the police station. Supercat helps Jane bring the raccoons to the police station.
Now Supercat and Jane are working together.
Jane understands that she can do good things without having superpower.
Our last word for today is to do good things. Actually, this is our last expression for this vocabulary lesson do good things. Do good things means to help or to be of use. Jane can help people without having superpower. She can be of use. She can help people to feel safe and peaceful in the town. Jane understands that she can do good things without having superpower. In other words, you dont need to have superpower to help other people to have happy and peaceful lives.
