Thot wos much more interesting thon getting reodg Jor school. He

OJ course, the teacher didn't betieve Wittioms stories, but the

other chitdren in the closs loved them. 'You might win o writingcompetition one dog!' hi.s best Jriend said. 'You might write o storg

booh one doy. You might be Jamous!' the others soid.

One morning, Wiltiam loy in bed thinking obout visiting other

plonets. When he turned on his mobile phone ond sow the time, he

thought, 'Oh nol I'm going to be lote ogoin!'

He jumped out oJ bed and storted getting dressed. Then he

remembered something importont. He hod to toke o dictionorg, opair oJ sclssors, some glue ond o botl oJ wool to school. He needed

He Jound them, but Lt wos olreadg two mi.nutes to ninethe house. His lessons storted ot nine o,cloch, so he had

Jost.

He ron so Jost thot he JeL[ over ond hit his heod on the ground.When he opened hls eges, he wosn,r in the street bg the schoolployground. He wos slttlng Ln o spoceshi.p ond o space monster wasloughing ond pointing Lts long Jingers ot him.

'//^*@@^>>,' the space monster soid.Wit[iam didn't understond, but themonster wos pointing ot Williqm's i

'Whot else hove you got in gour ruchscck, Eorth Bog?' the spoce

monster oshed.

Wittiom showed lt the scissors. The spoce monster touched themcareJutlg with its long Jingers. 'Whot do gou use these Jor?' it ashed.

Wiltiqm loohed Jor something thot he coutd cut. He saw o squqre

piece oJ gold ond sitver poper next to the spoceship's computer. Ithqd tots oJ stripes and spots on it.

'For cuttlng,' Wiltiam soid, ond storted cutting the poper in hotJ. The

spaceshlp suddenty stopped movlng.

'No! Stop! Thot wos mU most i.mportant space mapl' the spoce

monster said ongrilg.

'Wow!' thought Wittiqm. 'I've got a reotlg big problem now. Withouto mop, it might take much more time to get to schoo[!'

Then the spoce monster sow Wi.ttiant's

gtue o.nd batt oJ woot. It piched themup but the gtue Jett through its Jingersand dropped on the Jtoor. The topcome olJ ond the glue come out. Itwent o[[ over the spoce monster's Jeet.

'Do gou drinh this or wosh in it?' thespace monster ashed.

'Jump in Lt ond see!' Wittiom onswered.

l::l

No! Stop!

The monster jumped Lnto the gtue ond tried to jump out agoin buti.t coutdn't. It threw the bo[[ oJ wool in the oir, and when it stortedwaving its qrms round ond round, the wool went round ond roundits arms too. Soon the monster couldn,t move ot o[t.

'A^&o/o'> my ship!' it shouted. (lt wos Jorgetting its Engtish words.)'l've got o horrible heodache beco.use I,m >^( * gour strqngelanguoge. Yor,lve brohen mU spoce ^^<* ond now I con,t move mU*)>/! or mg ormsl I'm sendi.ng gou home! Go home right nowl'

Wi[iom wos suddentg on the ground outside the empty schoolplogground. It wos Jive post nine. He ron into his c[ossroom qndsoid, 'l'm sorry I'm [ote. You see, I wos in a spoceship ond I coutdn'tget owqg. A spoce monster ote mU dicti.onorg. Then I cut up thespoce mop, so the spqceship coutdnt move. Then I gtued the spocemonster's Jeet to the Jloor ond mg wool went otl round its orms,whlch mode it realty ongrg. But evergthing,s OK now!,

His Jriends coutdn't stop loughlng.

'We[[,' the teocher said. 'Wi[[iom,thot's the strongest storg yourlve

Wittiqm smiled ond loohed insidehis emptg ruchsach. 'We[[, I hnowolt oJ it realLy l'toppened,' he
