Encountering Extraterrestrials

One night, my dad gave me too much coffee to drink. I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. I was thinking, "I really want to fly!" and suddenly, I saw a white UFO outside the window. I felt curious, so I went to the window and jumped out. I ended up on the neighbor's roof and saw the UFO land on the roof. Suddenly, some strange looking beings came out of the UFO. Their heads looked like those of pandas and their bodies like frogs. They had antennas on their heads and no noses. Their eyes were on the top of their heads, and their arms were able to stretch and retract at will.

I said to them in Mandarin, "Are you ETs?"

They nodded and said, "Yes, we are." Then they said to me, "Come to our planet," and they took me away in their space craft.

After I arrived on the ETs' planet, I saw many strange things. For instance, the trees and their leaves all grew downwards. Everything that I saw there was different to what's on our Earth.

The ETs told me, "You can live here for as long as you like." So I lived there for thirty days and then I was sent back home by the ETs. However, when I looked at the clock at home, it was only 3:30 in the morning, and only then did I set my mind at rest.
