Age 5, York
Once upon a time, there was an alien named Aphid.
He decided to go eat a bird, but they had already flown south.
So, he went to the grocery store and bought and bought and bought eggs.
Then he bought a spider and spider web.
Then he went home and ate all of his stuff.
Then he ate his kids!
Then he caught a baby cougar and ate it.
