Satirical end-of-year project: Activity 3

“This is CNNNN with Justin Khoong”

Good afternoon,

Today’s top story was certainly the most strangest anyone had seen and swallowed as a boy from China had swallowed and 10cm live leech and got stuck in his throat. Luckily it was pulled out alive. Yes, he is now nicknamed from the whole world "leech eater"! Now Chinese correspondent Justin Khoong reports

“Thank you Justin! I am located in the hospital at the Sichuan Province home of the most funniest and most strangest people I mean, people can have strange things that happen to them even worse than swallowing a leech.

Here with me is leech eater and his parents, the 16-year-old boy first started saying that he had a sore throat for two months and kept on complaining to his mother about this I mean, is he a crybaby just because he has a leech in his throat?

“I kept on saying that it is impossible to have a sore throat since there is no disease around Sichuan,  I normally think that he is playing up because when he is sick, he would solve it himself” Says the mother

But as time went by, the boy had started to lose weight and had difficulty breathing, in cases like this; the parents took him to hospital. Hey, leech eater loses a lot of weight! He should be a contestant in the biggest loser!

“At this point, I thought that my son has developed asthma but I clearly remember that the last time he went to be diagnosed that he is not born with asthma, he then started losing weight and breathing heavily.” Says the father

 Then the weird symptoms had been discovered, the boy did not suffer from asthma, it was a leech that is 10 cm long that was stuck and started sucking at the boy’s throat. I doubt the leech would find any blood to suck, keep licking that throat Mr Leech!

“It was pretty shocking to see something like that get stuck into a person’s throat. Definitely horrific seeing one of my patients having a worm in his throat I mean, how can it even get there!?” Says the doctor. Well hey! You're the doctor! Aren't you the genius!?

When the boy could speak, he talked about how the leech has got in his throat, the boy’s job was working in a field, during his break, the boy drank water from the stream therefore making it possible that a leech must have swam in his mouth. Wait a minute... Stream water? What field does the boy work in? A rice farm?

This is Justin Khoong from CNNNN News back to you Justin.
