Nothing ever happens on just like home a planet. I live on. There is Remembering Night in the tonight. It is very exciting. There is big fire. Everybody love and watch it burn. There is the dancing round the fire. We put on our clothes. It is very different because the clothes must have the name of our name animal on them. For example, I always have the word ‘Hummingbird’ on my clothes, that means my name is Hummingbird. It is dark outside. I hold my father’s hand at first and we danced together. Then I couldn’t see him. Soon I lost my father.
The next night was Remembering Night. In Remembering Night I met man called Buff. I must marry him. He knew I am a young girl and only sixteen years old. I didn’t want him. So I fled with my spaceship to the galaxy. There I met Star Zoo. There are animals from the earth. In Star Zoo, I saw a door. I opened the door and there’s much light. I went in and I saw a computer. I talked with the computer and told about my planet. I went back to my planet and told my parents about the Star Zoo. But they don’t believe me. Then Buff came to me and will marry me again. I told him about the Star Zoo, but he didn’t believe it too. He went with me to the Star Zoo and he was going crazy when he saw the animals. But he became not normal. I went to the computer. It said that my robot must make an animal robot. The robot made an animal robot and Hummy. Then he and the robot went away. They didn’t land our planet, but at another planet.
