Wog the Adventurer

Once there was an alien whose name was Wog. Wog was the adventurous type. One day, he got tired of his planet and declared “I am tired of this planet. I want to live on another planet.”

He packed all his belongings and went off in his spaceship. He cruised past comets and sped through stars.

He finally landed on Planet St Martians. Planet St Martians had weird looking people.
The people that lived on St Martians had big googly eyes, blue skin, long ears, a couple of noses and a monstrous mouth. One of the two noses that the St Martians had, had pink freckles. The other was green in colour.

Wog was hungry. He saw a restaurant called “The Alien’s Delight”. But he did not know that the words “Alien’s Delight” meant the St Martians’ Delight. When he got there, he ordered something shaped like an alien. Once he ate it, he was transformed into a statue.

Then, some St Martians freed him after half an hour.

Wog thought “I’m out of here!”

He packed all his belongings and went off in his spaceship.

Wog is still an adventurous one, but he remembers never to go back to Planet St Martians.
