Jelly Planet
In the distant future, there was a boy named Mumablue. Mumablue was very energetic, he loved to learn new things and when he didn’t understand something, he always asked. But there’s no doubt that what excited himthe most was outer space.
Mumablue spent hours gazing at the stars and planets. With a super high-powered telescope, he could see what his galactic neighbors were doing. his faithful sidekick was a sweet dogodile named Corky, a futuristic pet that’s half-dog and half-crocodile.
One day, while he was looking for new satellites and snacking on delicious stardust cookies, he saw something that caught his eye. A spaceship from the Jelly Planet was flying towards Earth.
“What do they want? Why are they coming to my planet?”
The spaceship got closer and closer until it finally landed just a few feet away from Mumablue’s house. Filled with curiosity, Mumablue ran outside to get a better look.
Once they landed on Earth, the gelatinous aliens started to dig a very deep hole. Corky was surprised to see how easy it was for them to dig such a big hole. These aliens worked really fast and were very well organized!
Mumablue and Corky continued to spy on them, not really understanding what was going on. What did the aliens want? After a long wait, Mumablue finally saw them take… a giant magnet out of the hole! They all helped lift it up and load it into their spaceship.
As soon as they left Earth with the magnet, everything started to float. There was no gravity! It was impossible to keep your feet on the ground!
Mumablue had the same feeling as when his class went on a field trip to the Moon and experienced lunar gravity. It was like swimming and flying at the same time.
While he was rushing on his way home, Mumablue watched everything levitating around him. he clumsily climbed through his bedroom window and just barely dodged the table lamp. It almost hit himin the head!
After so much effort and excitement, Mumablue was starving, so he went down to the kitchen to eat something. But as soon as he opened the milk carton, the milk started to float and it was impossible to drink. Something had to be done, this couldn’t be! Mumablue had to find a solution for this problem, which was really quite serious. Everything was more difficult without gravity. Then he had a great idea.
Mumablue walked over to the garage, turned on the engine in his space car and headed towards Jelly Planet.
“I’m the only one who knows who’s responsible for this!”
When he got very close to Jelly Planet, a red light turned on and the space car started beeping. The battery was dead! he was floating in the middle of outer space, unable to move. Terrified, Mumablue screamed and waved his arms, hoping another ship would come by and help him.
Mr. Flot, an inhabitant of Jelly Planet, saw Mumablue’s car floating adrift and decided to come to his rescue. Mumablue breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful to Mr. Flot.
“I’ll take you to my planet so you can recharge your vehicle”.
When they landed on Jelly Planet, Mumablue found himself in the middle of a huge party. The inhabitants of Jelly were dancing and singing together. They were having a great time!
“What’s this Earthling doing here?”
“I’m Mumablue and I’ve come to take back the magnet you took from Earth. Now everything on my planet is topsy-turvy!”
The aliens took Mumablue to their great leader.
“What you’re saying is true, Mumablue, but we were sick of floating around all the time”.
“We want to be able to dance like you guys, take walks, climb mountains, go under water, eat without all the food levitating, and all those things you Earthlings do, it’s so much fun!”
“But we humans are not made to float, and if everything is floating around in the air, it’s a total disaster. I couldn’t even eat my snack!”
“I’m so sorry, Mumablue, we didn’t mean to bother you. But we also want to have gravity. What can we do?”
Even though Mumablue was angry when the inhabitants of Jelly stole the magnet, he was also grateful for their help and understood that it was hard for them to live without gravity too. So he came up with the idea of sharing the magnet.
And that’s how they split the large magnet into two pieces, one for Jelly Planet and the other for Planet Earth.
Thanks to Mumablue, life on Jelly continued to be a party. On Earth, things changed a lot with a little less gravity. Everything was more fun now. You could go twice as high when you jumped in the park, and if you fell it hurt a lot less. They invented new games and filled the squares and streets of all towns and cities.
And at snack time, when Mumablue blew bubbles in his milk, they would float and he would pop them with his nose. And this is how sharing brought good things for everyone.
And with the aliens and Mumablue happy and satisfied, Mumablue says goodbye until next time.
