6 They don't believe me
|
|
Where was my spacesuit?
|
Eee-Eee found it up in a tree where another squirrel was living in it.Eee-Eee told the squirrel to get out of my spacesuit.
|
I was happy to wear the spacesuit.Hoo-Woo took me to the door where I first came in.
|
Hoo-Woo made his noise:'Hoo-woo!'as I opened the door.He was sad that I was going.
|
I said,'I'm coming back,'and I went out to my spaceship.
|
I got in and said,'Take me home.'
|
The stars changed suddenly.I saw my world in space,all green and beautiful.A few minutes later the spaceship landed and I was home.
|
My father ran from the house shouting,'Hummy!'
|
I kissed my father.
|
My mother was angry with me.'I didn't know if you were dead or alive!'she cried.'It's been a week!'
|
A week!It felt like months to me.
|
'I've got some very exciting news for you,'I said.
|
'OK,'my mother said.'Let's sit in the theat and talk there.Oh yes,'she said to my father,'why don't you go to the house and bring us something to drink?'
|
Strange.Robots usually bring the drinks.But I just thought my mother wanted to be specially nice to me.
|
I told my mother what had happened.When my father came with drinks,I told my story anain.
|
Telling my story,I looked at the green fields of wheat moving in the wind.The wheat went on for thousands of miles,looking just the same everywhere.
|
How different it was in the Star Zoo!Every time you turned your head, you saw something new.That had frightened me at first but now I thought the Star Zoo was wonderful.
|
I explained that feeling to my parents.
|
'Yes,yes,Hummy,'my mother said,looking quickly at my father.
|
I saw a spaceship land near the house.'Who's coming?'I asked.
|
My mother and father looked at each other.Then I knew.
|
'It's Buff,isn't it?'I said.'You called him when you were getting the drinks!'I said to my father.I was really angry.'How could you?Wait!You don't believe me,do you?'
|
'Your head is full of dreams, Hummy,'my father said.'You must be married to Buff,but only for a year.Then you can get married to someone you like.'
|
I jumped up.'I hate you!Why did I come back?Why didn't I go straight to the Star Council?'
|
Buff walked up to us.'Hello again,Kate,'he said.'I still remember the first name you told me.'
|
I had an idea.'Listen to what happened to me,'I said,and Itold my story a third time.
|
Buff laughed.' What a story!You can tell me stories like that every night.'
|
'So you don't believe me?'I smiled.
|
He just laughed.
|
'OK,Buff,'I said.'Come with me.I'll show you the Star Zoo.If it's only a story, I'll marry you. I'll even get married for five years if you want.OK?'
|
'Why not?'Buff said.'I'll bring a robot to see what's really there.Robots never lie.'
|
Buff borrowed one of our family robots and we took off.My father watched us go with a worried face.
|
It was black in the empty space far between stars and we couldn't see anything.Buff was surprised when we landed onthe Star Zoo.
|
We put on spacesuits and went out.Buff looked at the door,very surprised. We went in.
|
After we went through the second door,Buff stood without moving and he looked at the trees and didn't say anything. The robot closed the door behind us.
|
Hoo-Woo ran out of the trees to meet me. I was happy to see him and happy to be back in the Star Zoo again. I wasn't afraid at all.
|
I looked round at Buff and my heart stopped.Buff's face was full of hate and he was holding a laser gun.The gun was pointing at Hoo-Woo.
