Hugo's been attending Karate lessons for the past few months. At his grading, Hugo was asked to perform a Shotokan Kata where he was watched by his instructor and a panel of judges. After all students have performed, the judges deliberate and give out new belts to successful students.

After his kata was explained by his instructor, he was asked if he had any questions. He put his hand up and proudly told the room that he was once stung by a wasp! Despite this, Hugo was awarded a blue belt.
