It was the most special day in alien history! The crowning of the new alien king and queen! The king was about to be crowned. Suddenly a huge flock of people came. They stole the diamond throne! They brought it back to earth.
The next day, the people on earth got a letter from the aliens saying,
“We want our throne. It is our’s. Not your’s. We will fight if it is not returned.”
Signed the aliens.
FINE!!! demanded the president. We shall return to planet Alefooe to rob their gold. When they met on planet Alefooe, they had a big war. It ended at sundown. The aliens of Alefooe won and were left in peace. And the earth people ended up in a jail cell for stealing. — The End
