Stars in their eyes

[ted]

Matthew Kelly is conducting auditions for a new series of “Stars In Their Eyes”. He calls for the next applicant and is surprised to see a young-man in a wheelchair appear on stage.

Not knowing any famous singers who use a wheelchair Matthew decides to discreetly question the young-man. “Welcome” says Matthew. “And what’s your name?”

“Simon” the young-man replies.

“And what happened to you Simon?”, asks Matthew.

“I was involved in a car crash and lost both legs” says the young man.

“I’m sorry to hear that” says Matthew. “Was anyone else hurt?”

“Yes. Unfortunately my Uncle, who was driving the car, was killed” says the young-man.

“Oh that’s terrible” says Matthew.

“It is” says the young-man, “But the surgeons were able to amputate his undamaged legs and transplant them in place of mine. So by the time the Stars In Their Eyes programme is made I should be fully recovered and able to take part”.

“That’s amazing” says Matthew. “And who are you going to be?”

“Tonight Matthew” says the young-man, “I am going to be

Simon and Half-Uncle”.
