One day, a young woman named Jane was walking in the desert. She saw a strange object in the sky that landed not far from her. A tall, blue - skinned alien emerged. The alien seemed lost. Jane tried to communicate with it using pictures she drew in the sand. The alien, who called itself Thar, understood. Thar was on a mission to find a special crystal that was said to be on Earth. Jane decided to help. They traveled together across different terrains. During their journey, they shared their cultures. Jane told Thar about human families and Thar told Jane about its home planet's advanced technology. They faced many difficulties, like a sandstorm, but their friendship helped them through. In the end, they found the crystal and Thar returned to its planet, but they remained friends and often sent messages to each other across the galaxies.
In a small town, there was a boy named Mike. He was always interested in outer space. One day, while in his backyard, he saw a shiny object fall from the sky. It was an alien. The alien was small and had purple eyes. Mike named it Glim. Glim was very friendly and seemed to be interested in everything around. Mike and Glim started to bond. They would play games together, like a version of hide - and - seek where Glim could turn invisible. As they spent more time together, they learned about each other's worlds. Mike told Glim about school and sports, and Glim told Mike about the different species on its planet. Their friendship was so strong that when Glim had to leave, Mike was heartbroken. But Glim promised to come back one day, and Mike waited patiently for that day to come.
