I went to the store to buy some milk. On the way I met a lady all dressed in silk. She gave a quarter, a dime and a penny too. Then wrapped me in silk of red, yellow and blue. She patted my head and sent me on my way. But first she said to wear that silk for the rest of the day. I walked away from that lady I met. But then I saw something stranger, as strange as they get. Wanna know what I saw on that road? A pirate, a penguin and a llama all dressed up in gold. The llama walked up and spit on my shirt. Then came the penguin all covered in dirt. The pirate joined in and asked for my money. I gave him my quarter, dime and penny. The three let me pass, while they waited for the next to come. I ran up the road while chewing my gum. I suddenly got scared and slowed my pace when I saw a great big, green face. I stopped in my tracks when it opened its mouth. The green thing then said "I'm Joe, from Waydownsouth." He held out his hand to shake mine I guess. But I didn't dare shake, never the less. I didn't trust this guy, all fuzzy and green. I just smiled and nodded, not wanting to be mean. "I'm from the planet of Zelwegnaroom." He whispered to me before the loud BOOM! I turned my head up and looked at the sky. What I saw was amazing, I rubbed my tired eyes. My thoughts were running through my head. "This is a dream, I must still be in bed." I opened my eyes to see the UFO. Then felt the hand of the guy named Joe. I blinked twice and then once more, as the ship's bottom opened like a door. The aliens took me inside and put a hat over my hair. I wanted to touch it, but I didn't dare. They told me to count back-wards from ten. I did it once, they told me to do it again. Then suddenly....my memories from today were gone.
