Cheese Moon
Jada, Charlotte and Huxley were playing in their tree hut when they heard noises coming from a clearing in the forest. The sun had set and darkness was beginning to fall over Villablue, but a strange glow was emanating from the clearing.
The children approached stealthily, hiding behind the bushes so they could observe without being discovered. And what they saw left them frozen: Aliens were running around a spaceship!
«Let’s go, if they discover us they will take us to their planet and experiment on us! I saw it once in a movie», exclaimed Huxley.
Charlotte remained mute. She was very frightened. But the truth is that those aliens didn’t seem to be a threat. They were playing, jumping and laughing. Jada realized that they were children, just like them.
«They won’t do anything to us! They just want to play», said Jada.
And before any of them could react, Jada was already heading towards them with determination.
«Hello! Welcome to Villablue, did you lose your way?», Jada asked.
The aliens did not speak their language, but they had an automatic translation system to communicate with the Earthlings.
«No, we know the Earth very well, we usually come here once a year on a school trip», replied one of the aliens.
The extraterrestrials explained to Jada that they sometimes borrowed their father’s spaceship and ventured out into the universe.
«¡Woooow! I’d love to meet the moon – I hear it’s made of cheese!», exclaimed Jada.
The aliens looked at each other, displeased, as they did not know what cheese was. On their planet there were no mammals and therefore they had no milk to make cheese.
«If you want you can join us» -invited them the alien.
Jada was overjoyed. She couldn’t believe she was going to travel to Space! She thought her parents wouldn’t worry, since she had permission to sleep in the tree house that night. It took her a while to convince Charlottee and Huxley, but finally the three of them boarded the ship. What other chance in life would they have to go up in a spaceship?
The liftoff was spectacular, and very fast! Once through the atmosphere, Jada saw the Earth getting farther and farther away. The alien spacecraft was incredibly fast. It wasn’t long before the descent began.They had reached the moon! The aliens gave them spacesuits before opening the hatch.
The moon was amazing! Rather than walking, you had to move around in little jumps, almost like floating. It was so much fun! However, Jada was a little disappointed to discover that the moon was not made of cheese: it’s hard rind was made of stone and dust. There was nothing but craters, not the Gruyere cheese holes it looked like when the moon was viewed from earth.
Still, kids and aliens had a great time – they played and laughed so much that they got hungry like wolves!
Fortunately, Jada, Charlotte and Huxley had all the provisions in their backpacks with which they planned to spend their special night in the cabin. So they organized an unusual picnic. Crackers, sandwiches, cookies, chips… and different kinds of cheese! The aliens loved it!
«Good thing the moon is not made of cheese, otherwise we would have eaten it long ago» -said the alien.
They all laughed heartily. Earthlings and aliens had spent a formidable night! An experience they would never forget.
Since that adventure, Jada always looked up at the sky on moonlit nights. And even though she saw for herself that it was a celestial body made of rock, she never stopped imagining that it was a big Gruyere cheese.
