Ronald’s Space Adventure by Aditya Kalarikkal
Ronald is an eight-year-old boy who lives in a small village with his family in the countryside. He has black glasses and brown hair. One evening, while he was reading in his bed, he suddenly heard a rustling sound just outside. He had no clue what it was.
The next day he went outside, to his back garden, to find out what the sound was. Inside the bush, was a common orange fox. The fox said: “Can you keep a secret?” Ronald was surprised that the fox could talk but reluctantly agreed.
The fox explained to the boy that she was not a fox but an alien from a planet called Supptune. She came to earth to ask for help from him. Ronald agreed to assist the alien whose name is called Supga. She led him to her space ship which is called Slave 1. Inside the ship were buttons and levers lights and more. The alien transformed into her normal self – she could shape-shift because she is an alien. Supga had three eyes, one leg and four arms, and was yellow in colour.
Zoom! The space ship hovered and in a blink of an eye it accelerated and flew past Comets, Mars, Jupiter and many stars including the Sun. They finally arrived at planet Supptune. As soon as they landed on the planet, the Supptians worst enemy Migan comes to their planet to invade. The only weapons that the Supptians have are sticks.
“Follow me!” exclaimed Supga leading him to her workshop. She was a scientist. Ronald saw some jet engines, a drill, some screws and many more tools.
“I’ve got an idea,” said Ronald.
He grabbed the jet engines, drill and screws and flew out of the workshop borrowing Supga’s jet pack. Ronald flew home and collected his dad’s bow and arrow. His Dad uses them when he goes hunting in the forest.
