The cows eye up the greened dung planet through their telescope
Yesterday, we created two new and bizarre stories about space. In the morning, we began with the cheese planet that was eaten by mice. The mice droppings created a planet of their own which was colonised by intergalactic dung beetles. They turned the planet into a fertile compost heap upon which rich green grass grew. The cows from the Cow planet (where do you think the cheese planet came from?) decided the grass was much greener on this planet and so moved.

The cows then began a new cheese planet and the circle of life was contained, except that some children wanted the cows to attack the beetles with milk guns!

We cut the cheese and mice out of the story and left the cows on a frozen planet at the edge of the solar system. Never mind, they found a new calling as purveyors of ice cream to the Universe!

The Mystical Hands of Space
The Mystical Hands of Space

In the afternoon, we needed a Universal being to squeze all the flavours from the old, spongey stars. We chose The Mystical Hands of Space! The Hands made jelly planets which were eaten by Mista Blobba.

The last two flavours he ate were frog’s legs and light. He had eaten so much that he exploded into a billion little jelly blobs each with a seed of light inside. This was Starspawn. the lighst grew in the jelly and became the stars we know and love today!

You learn something new…
