The Big Silver Object from the Sky

Midge was in the back yard when she heard a loud noise. She looked around the yard and didn't see anything that would make the noise she heard. The noise got louder and louder when suddenly across the back alley a huge silver object came down in the field. Midge jumped up ad ran to Booker-T's house next door.

“Booker-T!” called Midge. “Booker-T! Where are you? Booker-T!”

Booker-T crawled out of the house through the doggie door.

“Did you hear that noise?” asked Midge.

“What was that Midge?” asked Booker-T.

“I don't know,” said Midge.

“Did you see anything?” asked Booker-T.

“I saw this big silver thing land in the field over there,” said Midge pointing across the alley to the field. “Do you want to go see?”

“Maybe it is your space aliens come to earth,” laughed Booker-T.

“Maybe it is,” said Midge all excited about whatever it is. “I want to go see. Come on Booker-T.”

“Hey you guys,” said Jake from Midge's back yard. “I was looking for you. What are you two doing over there?”

“Hurry Jake,” said Midge. “Come on over here.”

Jake ran through the front gate of Midge's house and into Booker-T's yard and hurried into the back yard. “What are you guys doing?”

“Midge's space aliens landed over there in that field, Jake,” said Booker-T.

“How do you know they are space aliens?” asked Jake. “Midge has a big imagination when it comes to finding her space aliens.”

“I saw it Jake, and Booker-T also heard it,” said Midge. “It was really loud.”

“But I thought that the space ships were quiet,” said Jake. “I thought they just hummed when they flew over. What did you hear?”

“It was a loud roaring noise,” said Midge.

“I heard it too,” said Booker-T. “But Midge was outside when it came down and she saw it.”

“Lets go look,” said Midge. “I want to see what it is.”

The three started to walk to the field across the alley when they heard a lot of sirens blasting and around the corner came a line of cars with flashing lights. They entered the field where Midge saw the object land. Following behind the cars with the flashing lights was a large truck.

The three quickly crossed the alley and ran into the field. They crouched down low as they hurried across the field to get close to where everyone was seen. They saw the cars and the big truck.

“Look Jake,” said Midge. “See that big silver thing laying on the ground. Is that a space ship?”

“You just keep looking for the space aliens,” laughed Jake.

“What is it?” asked Booker-T.

“I don't know,” said Jake as they lay on the ground watching the humans moving around it.

“What does it say on that truck?” asked Midge. “There is a picture of a space ship on it.”

“It says, 'Space Cadets,'” said Jake.

“See Jake,” said Midge all excited. “Space aliens.”

“I don't think Space Cadets and Space Aliens are the same thing,” said Jake.

“Maybe space cadets are a code name for space aliens,” suggested Midge. “We don't know.”

“What are they doing over there?” asked Booker-T. “Can we get closer to them.”

“Come on Jake lets go closer so we can see and hear them,” said Midge.

They slowly walked closer to where all the men were gathered around the silver object.

“Come on guys,” said a tall man in a dark green shirt and jeans. “Lets get this loaded into the truck before people are out here trying to find out what happened.”

“Wonder what happened, Jake,” said Midge.

“Someone will think that the space aliens landed if we don't get this out of here,” said a young man in a black suit. “Get it into the truck and lets get out of here.”

“It is space aliens, Jake,” said Booker-T. “Midge is right. The space aliens have landed. They are here.”

“Maybe they are pretend space aliens,” laughed Jake. “I don't think an outer space ship would be small enough to fit into a big truck?”

“They are taking it away,” sighed Midge. “We will never know what it is.”

“Maybe it is a toy space ship,” said Jake.

“Maybe Jake is right,” said Booker-T. “Can we follow that truck?”

“We don't know where it is going,” said Jake. “Lets just go to the park to play.”

Booker-T and Midge agreed and they ran back to the house and then started their walk to the park.

“Maybe one day that space ship will come back and we can meet the space aliens,” said Midge as they walked along the sidewalk.
