Mog was not born in King Earon’s Park. Mog was not born on this planet. 2
Mog was born on the planet Wogom. 3
Mog took a long trip with her dad, Gom, and Captain Mork to a far-off planet. They had a job to do. 4
They had to drop off a big jar of red jam to King Earon and pick up a sack of red rocks. 5
When the starship went past the moon, a rock struck the rocket thruster. All the buttons went red on the ship’s controller dashboard. “Eek,” said Gom. 6
“We have lost power to the thruster,” said Gom. “I think we are going to crash!” “We need to get the rocks that power the ship,” said Captain Mork to Gom. “I will take the green one. You and Mog need to grab one too.” 7
“We better get in the pods,” said Gom. “The pods fit one person.” said Captain Mork. “Mog can go in the first one.” 8
