Erich Phang-Lyn's story

Matt started walking toward the village and was startled to see what he saw. There were little, round, blue people about three feet tall (literally, they looked like one of those big workout balls but with hands and feet sticking out). Matt guessed that he saw a little boy holding a rope coming around the corner. The boy saw him coming towards him and said something to someone behind him. All of a sudden, a dog 7 feet tall started barking and running at Matt but right before it pounced Matt yelled “Heel!” and immediately stopped and his expression turned to playful. Matt didn’t notice the round little boy beside him until he said “Boogle boogle ding dan?” Matt didn’t know what to do so je just started talking gibberish like “Biggle bo be be knick knock mop.” The boy smiled and for the rest of the day, Matt talked gibberish with the little boy.

It started to get dark so the little boy took Matt to his home judging by how fancy his house was, Matt thought he was the president’s son. He invited Matt to dinner and Matt actually learned some of their language. He learned that the little round boy was named Bobby and the president’s name was Jimbolflopderbingo. Since Matt didn’t look like them, they figured that he must speak a different language and gave him a translator machine which he used from then on. They talked about current events and they said they had a war going on over a planet made entirely of cookie dough (true story). Matt told him that if he fixed my airship, Matt would end the war with peace and not violence. The next day Matt came up with a way to stop the war! If Matt could get them to work together, they could have a huge cookie shop and Matt could be a delivery boy for Earth. Now everyone was happy, my airship fixed, with new accessories (wink, wink) and everyone lived happily ever after…with cookies!
