Read about the first episode of Smallville, when Superman came to Earth. You will need to look at the list of characters before you read this. How much of it did you remember?
It's October 1989, in Smallville, a small town in America.
Jonathan and Martha Kent were in a flower shop with Lana Lang
and her aunt.
Lex Luthor ran away from his father, into a cornfield. He
saw an older boy tied on a stick like a scarecrow.
A
meteorite hit Smallville, killing Lana Lang's parents. Lex
Luthor lost his hair and the Kents found a small boy near
a spaceship.
Clark,
the boy in the spaceship, has grown up. He was looking at
the Internet.
Clark ran to school after missing the bus.
He met his friends Pete Ross and Chloe Sullivan at school.
When he walked towards Lana Lang, he fell over as usual. Her
necklace makes Clark weak. Her boyfriend, Whitney Fordman,
laughed.
Lex
Luthor came back to Smallville to run his father's factory.
His
car hit Clark and went into a river. Clark wasn't hurt and
saved Lex.
Jeremy
Creek, who Lex saw before the meteorite, came back for revenge.
He used his electrical powers on the boys that tied him up
in the cornfield.
Lex
gave Clark a new car but his father told him to give it back.
His father doesn't trust the Luthors.
Clark
asked his father why he was so strong. His father showed him
the spaceship.
Chloe
showed Clark her "Wall of weird". It shows all the strange
things that have happened in Smallville since the meteorite.
Clark felt guilty.
Lana
gave Whitney her necklace. It made Clark weak so Whitney tied
him up like a scarecrow.
Lex
found Clark in a field and saved him.
Clark
went to the school dance. He met Jeremy Creek. They had a
fight. Clark won and Jeremy was normal again.
For
revenge, Clark put Whitney's car on top of his friends' cars.
Clark
went home. He imagined dancing with Lana but could only watch
her go home alone.
