| Imagination
is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is
that. He dared to imagine everything. -- Henry Miller (1891–1980), U.S. author. |

One day a planet said, "It is too cold. We are freezing, please make it hotter!" But the sun could not hear that planet. Then the planets got so cold that they couldn't even move one single bit. The sun didn't have ears so the planets made ears for the sun. Then they said again, can you please make it hotter? Then the sun heard the planets and made it so hot that they got cooked. Then a planet said, "Can you make it warm?" But the sun could not hear because his ears burned off. Then they had to make more ears. After they made the ears they said, like they said the other time, to please make it warm. But the sun could still not hear because they did not attach the ears. Then the ears fell down and one planet said, "catch it". But they did not catch it. It fell down and down so then they had to make more ears for the sun. After they put on the new ears, they said again, "Can you please make it warm?" Then the sun heard, but he could not make it warm. The planets were so hot that they didn't get cooked like they did the other time. They got burned so they had to run to the store to get suntan lotion. After they put on suntan lotion, they helped the sun get warm. But they could not help the sun to get warm. So they asked the sun to get cold so they had to be frozen for their whole life. One day a planet said, "Let's go to the store and buy a cold-tan lotion. But the man did not have cold-tan lotion. So they had to make cold-tan lotion. It was hard for them to make it. So one planet said, "We can buy a heater." So they went to the store to buy a heater. The planet had a heater that can only be cold. So they had to make a heater. Finally, they made it, but when they turned it on, the heater broke. They were as cold as a ice cube. One day a planet said to help the sun. So all the planets helped the sun. The sun could not change the temperature so all the planets got really, really cold. Then a planet said, "Why is it so cold?" The planet was sleeping when they fixed the sun. So the other planets said, "One day we were cold and we wanted the sun to be hot. But it did not have ears." The other planet said, "Was that the end of the story?" One said, "no." So the planet said, "What happened next?" "I can't tell you." "Why not?" "I can't tell you because it takes a lot of time to say the story." "No, it doesn't." "Yes, it does." "Yeah right! How long does it take-one minute?" "One hour." "Prove it." "It takes too long to prove it." "It takes too long because you don't know how to talk." "You don't know anything about me." "I know more things about me than you know about yourself." "How do you know? Tell me about myself." "I know something about you-you are stinky and ugly." "You little brat. When I get my hands on your neck, I'll squeeze it." "How dare you say that to me!" |
Then they got into a fight. All the planets from all the galaxies came and said, "Stop fighting." But they did not stop at all. Then one day they stopped fighting. Then all the other planets went away. The planets that were fighting had two black eyes. Then the planets that were fighting had to go to jail. One day the planet that was sleeping escaped from jail. The policeman tried to catch the planet, but he was too fast. So the policeman went in his car and he caught him. Then he let the other planet, that helped the sun get his ears, out of jail. But the other planet had to be there for his whole life. Then the planet went to his friends that helped the sun too. Then he helped the sun with the other planets to make it hotter. So they made a hot tub. But when they got in it splashed out. So they went to the store to buy a hot tub. But the store did not have a hot tub. They only had a cold tub. So they were cold for their whole life. Then they asked the sun to get hotter. So the sun go hot and the planets clothes burned off and they were naked and the sun laughed for his whole life instead of making it warm. But one day, they got more clothes, than they ever had before. Then they put on their clothes and they burned. Instead of their bodies burning, their hair burned and they were bald. For Christmas they wanted more hair and for the sun to get warm. Then Christmas came, but there were no presents under the tree. They were sad, but not really mad. Then many years passed and now it was July, but they still don't go out because they are naked in the sky with a pie. They were helping the sun get cold because if it didn't get cold they will die in the sky. They forgot that they could just ask the sun to get cold. Then one day one planet said, "Let's ask the sun to get cold." "OK," said all the other planets. So they asked the sun and the sun got cold. But, they liked it because it will snow. Then they ran to the store to get the clothes, jackets, and their boots. Then it snowed and snowed. Then one day the snow stopped and it came right from the top. Who was it? Was it snow or was it dough from the snow? So it just snowed, but the planets did not play. They just stared at the weird snow. When the snow hit the ground it transformed into a snowman. Then the snowman turned into another planet. The planet was blue with green stuff on its face. The planets name was Earth. Earth was the nuttiest planet that ever lived. They did not like him. So the planets hid from him. They hid behind the sun, stars, and the store. They were really scared of the odd planet because it had people on it. Then they saw a thing fly out of the planet. It was hot and warm. So the planets tried to catch the thing. Then they caught the warm thing and they kept it for a pet. The pet flew all over the place. Then one said, "We can't catch this thing. It's too fast for us and it's breaking everything in the house." The pet was burning the snow to water. Then they were floating in the water for five days. The water was hot because the pet was under the water with the planets. The pet was mean because he poked their butts. Then they had bumps on their butts. They did not like the pet because sometimes he burned one of the planets. So they threw the pet back into the blue and green planet. Then they were really cold and they turned into snowmen. But they did not have carrots for noses, buttons for eyes, and sticks for arms. |
