Brenden did most of the work himself. Ashlyn helped paint the alien and Mom and Dad did the cutting with an exacto knife for his legs and mouth.
TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!!!!
Ashlyn helped by holding her Hannah Montana light to help Brenden see where to put Alex's eight eyes!!
Alex begins to take form!
Brenden spent hours on the story, it is truly awesome!!
Alex the Alien
by Brenden Crouch
There once was an alien named Alex. Alex lived on the planet Zulthar. Alex had heard stories of a planet called Earth. Alex wanted to see if there was life on Earth. Alex was orbiting the Earth when he came too close to the atmosphere and crash landed.
He landed in front of a school called Canyon View. He was very hungry. He found a small red bird and ate it up. It had lots of feathers that got stuck in his teeth. Alex is a dwarf alien so he though Canyon View was a huge world and he went in to go find out what it was. When he got to Canyon View he saw another strange alien holding a box on a large rectangular table with legs. He jumped up on the table and switched places with the thing and got taken to something called a classroom. The classroom was C-3, Mrs. Perry's class. Alex got put on a desk and children started shoving something in his mouth called Valentines. He thought those were better than the red bird. So Alex held really still with his mouth wide open and ate 29 more Valentines. He was so full of Valentines he couldn't walk for a couple of hours.
Alex knew his mom and dad would be missing him so he left the classroom so he could repair the space ship. Alex finally got the space ship fixed and flew back home.
A year later he came back to Earth. He was not alone, he brought his family this time. Then all the little aliens switched with one of the fake things the people were carrying to their desks and stood real still. Each of them ate 30 Valentines. They were so stuffed that two of the aliens had to throw up twice. So did the mom.
When Alex and his family were on the space ship back to planet Zulthar, he knew he would not be able to come back to eat Valentines every year. So, instead he decided to make his own Valentines at his school. Alex would always remember the day he crash landed and ate his first Valentines.
