Online Children's Magazine from India
It was a dark and stormy night. The whole of Greentown was covered by dark clouds. Christopher was returning home. It started raining cats and dogs.
Suddenly he saw a U.F.O. appearing from the clouds above. In no time it landed on the road. Three aliens came out. Chris was astonished as he could understand their language. Their plan was to take all the trees away from earth. Not wasting a moment, Chris called his friends. The aliens pointed out to a tree. An eerie blue light shot out from their hands making a tree vanish. Soon, Chris's friends arrived. They tried to scare the aliens by throwing stones, but in vain.
Luckily, Mr Goon, the fat inspector of the area arrived. With a frightened look on his face, he shot at the aliens. One of them pointed his finger at Mr Goon. To everyone's amazement, Mr Goon became as thin as a stick. Everybody laughed. Suddenly, Anna, Chris's friend, ran towards them, shouting at the top of her shrill voice. The aliens got the fright of their lives and vanished alongwith their spaceship. The kids were delighted. They had saved their planet. Mr Goon was left fiddling with his pants.
