The Boy From Mars Zhuhai International School, Li, Jia Qi - 9 I n the 23th century, there was a little boy called Mars. He is called Mars because he came from the planet Mars. He moved to planet Earth. Mars is a lucky and unlucky boy. He is lucky because his family is VERY RICH. He is unlucky because his parents also are VERY STRICT. They have at least 100 HOUSE RULES!!! Yeah, that’s A LOT! So, that’s why Mars decided to run away from home, and now he is on the big wide street of FUTURE NEW YORK. But as he was walking, he saw a big and shiny door in front of him. He looked around, but all he saw was people and aliens walking. Nobody is paying attention to him or the MAGICAL DOOR. He thought, “Hmm, maybe there will be something good in that door. I guess I will just walk in.” So, then you know what happened, Mars walked through the door and now what he sees in front of him was TRULY AMAZING!!! It’s amazing not because it’s beautiful; it’s because it’s all SO CRAZY AND MESSY!!! Cars almost crashing into each other, people shouting at each other, and all other stuff. He was just about to go back through the door when he heard a voice calling out. It said, “Mars, don’t go away, I need you to complete a mission for me.” Mars paused, he looked around, but no one was there. Then, suddenly, he saw a poster, saying “Welcome to the CRAZY WORLD!!!” Now Mars got it, this place is so messy and crazy because it’s the crazy world! BUT then, the ‘voice’ called out again “Mars, Mars! Are you still listening?” The ‘voice’ asked, “Um, yes, I am listening.” Mars responded. So the ‘voice’ continued, “Ok, then as I was saying, I want you to complete a mission.” “What mission is it?”Mars asked. “The mission is…… Um…… I want you to go and explore this world and find its problem. But that’s not all; I also want you to find a man called Dr. Panty Poops, and a MIGHTY ROBOT called Canonbot. You get it? Then, I want you to help this world and change it, don’t let it be crazy world, but do it with Dr. Panty Poops and Canonbot. Will you help me?” “Ok, I will try my best to help you.” “Just focus on your journey. If you don’t finish it before tomorrow, then you will have to stay here forever. But I will give you one thing to help you on your journey. Here, this is a stick, if Canonbot and Dr. Panty Poops fight during the journey; say ‘stop them!’ Ok, now go on your journey
