If you’re like most of our readers, you’re probably wondering if we’ve ever been abducted by a giant flying eyeball from outer space. Well, it’s funny you should be wondering that, because that’s exactly what happened to us just the other day!
It all started when I was in the extraterrestrial observation centre. I was looking through the telescope trying to spot something that might give me an idea of what to write about in our next book when I came across the strangest-looking alien I’d ever seen!
It had a hairy body with six legs, two wings and a weird trumpet thing sticking out the front of its face.
It was making a buzzing sound, kind of like a fly. Which wasn’t surprising, really, because after a while I realised that’s what it was—a fly, just an ordinary fly.
‘Hey, get off my telescope!’ I yelled. It did, but then it started buzzing around and around my head. At that moment I realised that this was no ordinary fly—this was a really annoying fly.
In the end I had no choice but to go and get …
THE SWATTER!
I swiped …
and swiped …
and swiped …
and swiped …
and swiped …
and swiped …
but it was no use. I couldn’t swat it. That fly was not only really annoying, it was also really fast! I needed something bigger. So I went and got …
THE SUPER-SWATTER!
I super-swiped …
and super-swiped …
and super-swiped again!
But no matter how much super-swiping I did, I still couldn’t swat that fly.
So I went and got …
THE SUPER-SIZED FLYSPRAY!
I super-sprayed …
and super-sprayed …
and super-sprayed!
I used up the whole can, but the fly was just as alive—and just as annoying—as ever! (I, on the other hand, was not feeling so great.)
I had to get rid of that fly once and for all. It was time to unleash …
THE FLY CANNON!
I had it lined up perfectly. I couldn’t miss.
READY …
AIM …
FIRE!
Like I said, I couldn’t miss. But guess what? I did! When the smoke cleared, there it was: that fly! That REALLY ANNOYING fly.
