Expedition—Mars to Earth
The martians, by the year 9876, had taken over Earth.
A jungle was grown in a part of North America. The west was a dry desert. In the east, a forest had covered the north. The southeast was sunk under water.
In a place where the jungle met the desert, a martian named El Tula Ti lived in his white, ball-shaped house.
One day, El went to the automatic foodmaker, and got a ham and cheese sandwich.
He went to the jungle area to eat it.
Suddenly, a strange person grabbed him. El asked him, "Who are you?"
He answered, "An earthling. My spaceship crashlanded over by the lake. We were exploring the moonbase's secret slab whenever we came to our ship. It went wild, then crashed."
"Where are the others?"
"I'm the only one--wait, four more survived. There was 25 of us."
"Okay. Come with me. I'll take you to my ship."
The five earthlings followed the martian to his house.
Then, El got in. He drove away without them, leaving them in the middle of the desert.
