[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME~1/XPPRES~1.USE/LOCALS~1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image003.gif[/IMG] I found myself lying all alone on the ground. The place was deserted and I was scared to death. I jumped to my feet, but I felt as if I were swimming. I felt that I hardly had any weight. Just then, I realized I was on the moon. There's no atmosphere there and so there's no gravity. I began to walk about trying to find someone to whom I could speak, but it was in vain. I kept walking till I got so tired that I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found myself surrounded by very strange creatures. They had bigger heads than ours. "They must have better brains." I thought. There were no noses of any kind on their faces. "How could they breathe?", I wondered. The answer was faster than I could ever imagine. They didn't need noses since there was no air. "How was I myself able to breathe?" I wondered. I could hardly find an answer as they seized me hard.
I was taken to a place that seemed much like a court. To my surprise, I found a human being in the same cage. "What do you think they will do to us?" I asked. "They will kill us." He answered.
Then I heard a familiar voice saying, "Get up, Tarek. It's time to go to school." It was mum.
