Superman is a tough guy, he's been a bit down recently. in such a case most of us would gorge on pizza, chocolate and crisps while watching reruns on TV, Superman just sat on top of the Empire State Building, doing nothing. Batman took pity on him and said: " I'm a bit busy at the moment I'll do you a favour. I hate castanets and olive oil I'm ready to take you to Spain to give you more oomph." Superman just said: "Fine" most of us would have boxed Batman's ears for making such an absurd suggestion. After all Spain is unhygienic and full of bulls running wild in the streets. So Batman said: "OK, let's go." And off they flew to the land of rolled RRRs.

They landed in Guadalajara ( American city names run smoothly, you always sound as if you've been eating a machine gun when asking for directions in Spain). That was the only flight they could find at such short notice. Superman could have carried Batman on his back, Batman was a bit apprehensive, and anyway he wanted to go to the duty-free shop. Batman loves Toblerone and bought 25 packs Superman was sick (like a pig - you should have seen him - that was revolting) and bought nothing. He usually flies in the open air on that plane he was confined on his seat, stuck between Batman and a strange rabbit with a pressure cooker on its lap. not squeamish Superman felt slightly nervous.

If you want to know what happened next, try the 'order to / so that' exercise. Hombre!
