Telling My Friends about Mars and Other People by Javier Richards
When John was on Mars, there were not a lot of life forms. There was only an ocean and three trees, and some vegetables. It was like out of Space One. They were falling off the tree and it made a loud noise, like a boom exploding. Then a giant worm came up and started to eat all of the vegetables, because now it was creating a new aroma that drew it closer. It was like when you are boiling candy together to make it the sweetest so you can eat it with other people. John decided to explore further around Mars to see if there was anything he didn’t know that was on Mars, I see two families sitting in their house. They were drinking some kind of tea. It was green and they had tentacles flying out of it. He couldn’t believe that there were people on Mars. When he tried to talk to them they were speaking a type of language that he didn’t know. Problem: They didn’t trust me because I just came to their town. They told me to get out. When I said I needed something to drink they forced me to get out. Then I tried to talk to them but they shot bullets at me. It was like laser beams and they shot John in his foot. It hurt. I ran till I lost them and I tried to find someone that was kind to help me to patch the wound but the second house I went to they did the same thing as the others when I was walking with the wound. I fainted and when I woke up I felt someone pulling me onto the hard ground. My back was scraped and I fell back to sleep and the next day I was healed up and I told the person that when I had some money I would pay her back. She was a kind old lady. I went back to Earth to ask people to help me on Mars. But no one seems to care about it, they just wanted the money. When I asked them to help me, they didn’t, so I had to ask people on the street to help me and I told them they can earn money if they help me. They were crying with joy and they told me that they were looking for a job to help her kids go to school and to have something to eat. They were still crying and they asked, when do we start? After that we went back to Mars and we saw more trees. I said to them there were not a lot of trees. This looks like a miracle. We cut down the trees, and we made houses, but they grow back differently like flaming fruit burning and you can eat it. It feels like your stomach is burning and you really want to eat more and more but you can’t get more. And then we made juice to drink when we are digging, to 43
