One day a few calico cats named Socks and Tigger were playing with some computer boxes. They made a big shiny spaceship out of the boxes. The creative cats brought the spaceship outside in the warm sun. They wanted to dig a secret passage under the ship. So they used their paws and claws to dig the passage. When they were digging they found an old motor under the hard ground. Tigger said "Let's put the motor in our spaceship." It was hard to bring the motor up and put it in the spaceship. Using wires they connected the motor to the controls. Socks pushed the ON button and the spaceship rumbled and took off. The cats were very afraid. It soared through space and finally landed on.........

…Chaclucha with a hard bump! They looked at each other and decided to peek outside to see where they had landed. They slowly opened the cardboard door and walked out slowly and nervously. As soon as they walked out, Tigger and Socks floated up, up into space. "Meow!" yelled Tigger " We're in space “. Socks looked down and saw that Chaclucha was made out of peaches and rocks that looked like chocolate! Tigger noticed creatures that looked like bubbles with four round eyes on their faces that were hexagons. Socks screamed,” There’s no gravity on Chaclucha! How do we get down? " What do we do?" yelled Tigger.

How could they get down? That was the problem. They tried pushing down, but that didn’t work. They simply couldn’t get down. It was a disaster. They tried blowing down, but they ran out of breath. They tried pushing, but their arms grew tired. They tried stamping, but their legs were tired. Now they were definitely in trouble." Why don’t we burp?” said Tigger. They did and they floated slowly down to the planet. But when they thought they were safe, suddenly there was a rumbling sound. What was going to happen? There was an earthquake!!!! Now they were definitely in trouble. A space broke in the ground where they were standing. They started to tumble down……….
They started to tumble down into a crack, They rolled and crashed into each other. Finally they landed with a very hard bump and a thump. As Socks and Tigger began to explore they discovered something very interesting about the jungle. The animals in this jungle had two heads. As Socks and Tigger got closer to the animals, suddenly they heard a terrifying roar ...

The roar was a dingo.
It was not far away and getting closer by
the minute. Socks and Tigger were very
scared. The dingo was in pain he
had a broken leg and this is why
he wasn't friendly. The
cats had a close look and saw the dingo
was very weak. They asked, “Would you like some help.”
The dingo replied, "Yes, please,can you
help me fix my leg?
I am also very hungry." The cats put
some magic powder on the dingo's leg. "Follow me, I
know a way out of this terrible jungle
to your space ship." You must come with
us," Socks insisted. Socks, Tigger and Dingo
climbed into the space ship. As
they landed on earth the dingo’s second
head began to fade. The cats had a
slumber party to welcome Dingo to earth.
This was the beginning of a great
friendship.
