Bed Time Story (Continued from 10/05/2010)

Night 3

What are we writing about? Are we writing the wishing thing? Please don’t write down everything I say. OK.

On planet Go-to-Bed people don’t throw coins into the wishing well, they throw cows, but of course there are no cows on that planet, so they have to wait for space ships from Earth to bring a cow or two every now and then. This is why Faruno Abalgandon Vextraliensis wanted to become a captain, so he could travel to other planets and get more cows. He was hoping that more and more people on planet Go-to-Bed will be able to make wishes, although it didn’t really matter for Faruno if those wishes came true. He didn’t even care whether he was going to bring back home cows or elephants. Of course it is much harder to throw an elephant into a wishing well that was made mostly for cows. However, elephants like water so they could live happily on planet Go-to-Bed, if not piled up too many on the same well.

Prior to becoming a captain, Faruno had to go to university, then school and, finally, to kindergarten. Only the best students ever went to maternity, to be born again. The best captains were chosen among those because when you get re-born, you may not look like other people on your planet, but you may even look like a human, with only two legs, a single nose and maybe a funny hat.

Now mum wants us to go to bed so we may not become space ship captains tonight.
