ΠΑΜΕ ΜΙΑ ΒΟΛΤΑ ΣΤΟ ΦΕΓΓΑΡΙ (ΔΗΜΙΟΥΡΓΙΚΗ ΓΡΑΦΗ ΣΤΑ ΑΓΓΛΙΚΑ)
Cavor’s messages from the moon end suddenly while he is just beginning to
explain how to make Cavorite to Bedford.
His final fate is unknown……………….. Continue the story. Let your
imagination run wild!! The Moon is the limit!
Λένα Τσώτα
After some years of living on the inside of the moon, Cavor got used to the way they
spent their time…… He survived by eating the seeds of some flowers that
existed on the moon. He and the Selenites became, in some way, really good and
close friends. He taught them English and they taught him their language, Selenish,
so they communicated in both languages.
They tried to invent more things. They invented a machine called “Selevor” and
Cavor made more cavorite with which he covered the inside of the “Selevor” so he
could return back to Earth. The Selenites allowed him to go back to his home
because they understood that he missed his home, family and friends and they
wanted him to be happy. They made him promise them though that he wouldn’t
tell anyone about “Cavorite”. The next day after having said goodbye he got in
“Selevor” and went back to earth. He changed his identity, so he was then called
Peddler. Nobody ever heard anything about him since then…………….
To be still continued????
Θεανώ Λιβιεράτου
……. Knowing that there was no way of returning to earth he tried to make the most
of it. First of all he decided to teach Selenites basic English words so as to be able
to communicate. He soon got accustomed to living in their society and they regarded
him as one of their own. Unfortunately though, because of the strange climate on the
Moon, he soon became seriously ill and many of the Selenites were afflicted and they
all died leaving behind their civilization which no one would ever discover.
Αφροδίτη Πολυχρόνη
….. and then Cavor stopped. He thought that if he told Bedford the secret of
Cavorite he would come back and steal all the gold as well as kill the Selenites. So,
he left him with all the questions he had. Meanwhile, he had started to fall in love
with the daughter of the Grand Lunar, so he thought “this is my home and this is
where I belong”.
Αποστόλης Καζαντζής
Cavor met a gorgeous lunar girl and they both fell in love. In the next few months
they made the big decision to get married. Although he married a lunar woman he
wasn’t able to escape the nagging. They had a religious wedding and as best man
they had the Grand Lunar. The ceremony was going perfectly when a mooncalf
Interrupted and destroyed their bridal wreaths. Luckily, the priest used to be a farmer
so he knew how to handle the mooncalf. After their wedding they went on a
honeymoon to Mars and had the time of their life. At the end , they adopted two
Lunar kids and their life was complete.
Αρετή Καλαντζή
Cavor had taken some Tulip seeds on his trip to the Moon because Tulips were his
favorite flowers. So, he decided to plant them on the Moon. He waited and waited
for a long time and then they finally grew and became huge and blue. They were
amazing!! While Cavor was planting and waiting for the Tulips on the Moon his
friend Bedford on Earth was very sad because he didn’t know what had happened
to his companion. One day, Cavor decided to throw a Tulip down to Earth with the
hope that Bedford would see it and understand that he was alive. And that’s what
happened. Bedford saw the flower and understood everything. So he decided to
start making a rocket with the hope that he could go and find his friend Cavor.
Κώστας Τσαρούχης
Cavor was terrible bored on the Moon so he made a spacecraft from materials that he
found on the Moon. He collected food like moonplants that he ate while he was
there and put it in the spacecraft. Then, he covered it with Cavorite which he had
secretly made and came back to Earth.

Chapter 28 “A little bit of epilogue”
Meanwhile, Bedford had already paid his creditors with the money he had gathered
telling his bizarre story and later selling it to a new coming film company in America
called Warner Brothers. With the money left over, which was about five hundred
million pounds, he began his new life.
Firstly, he built a gigantic cottage, with perks that no other building – not even the
palace- had and a man had never imagined in his life. It had three floors, each
floor with approximately twenty-eight rooms. On each floor there were ten bedrooms,
seven bathrooms, two kitchens and living rooms, a classroom, a cinema, a massage
room – with experts from Japan – and finally an indoor swimming pool. The total
number of servants working in the cottage was thirty-two. All this excluding the
servants’ rooms, the underground cellar and a laboratory. In the beginning
Bedford tried to recreate Cavorite, rebuild the sphere and return to the moon with a
squad to free Cavor and vanquish the Selenites, but after a couple of days he thought
that if he did that Cavor would never forgive him or even commit suicide thinking that
it was his fault that a whole civilization was exterminated.
With the years passing he found a brilliant woman with whom he got married and had
three children. He also found a well-paying permanent job and continued his life.
At the beginning of his spreading his story and writing novels about him and Cavor,
he became even more famous than King George V and helped a lot by funding his
country with major assets during the World Wars.
But soon after President Kennedy’s promise in 1961 and the beginning of the
Apollo program he became unwanted, a bit later he found himself bankrupt,
becoming forced to sell his house. His children and grandchildren abandoned him
and never spoke a word about him – his wife had passed away during the 2nd
world
war. To everyone he was now but a miserable old man with no family constantly
whispering crazy things about the Moon, someone named Cavor and a strange
object somehow called cavorite.

- Centre, do you copy?
- Affirmative.
- This is Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Michael Collins was left behind with the
“Eagle”. We are now orbiting the Moon fully stabilized. Shall we proceed now
with the next plan?”
- Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….
- Centre , do you copy ?
- Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….
- I don’t copy a thing Buzz, have you done something?
- Oops, I might have accidentally turned off the transmission signal receiver. Let
me check it out. Eeeh..yeah I’ll turn it on now. But, but why isn’t it working??
- GREAT , you broke it!
- Do you think it’s my fault?
- Of course, who else would it be?
- Cut it out Neil. We had better begin with the landing.
- Yes, you’re absolutely right. But now with the auto pilot not responding we
must be careful.
- Does that mean you’re afraid?
- Stop goofing around, this is serious. Will you let me do my job or will you land
the airship? You know that I’m way better than you at this. Not to mention that
we have less than 30 seconds to do this as we don’t have much fuel left.
- Okay boss whatever you say.
- That’s the spirit. Now let me drive this thing. I see a spot down there in that
crater! Let’s land there. Have the camera ready
- Remember! We both have to put on our suits before we go down there. And
don’t break your legs while going down the stairs. Just look at the camera
smiling and say something.
- Okay, got it, turn it on!
- “ One small step for man, one giant leap for mankin………” Hey, who is that
there?”
- “At last, civilization! You do not know how much I have waited for this moment
to come! My name is Cavor, bmbmbmbm. Are you the rescue team that came
after me ? And why are you wearing these peculiar suits? Didn’t Bedford tell
you that that there is atmosphere on the moon? Oh, has technology advanced
so much these 2 years? What am I saying ? As the revolution of the moon
around its axis lasts 27 earth days bmbmbmbmbm what is earth like in the
year 1969? I see from the labels that you gentlemen are Americans. That
means you know nothing about my invention, cavorite. Let me show it to you
some time. But not now or else the same thing that happened to the Selenites
might happen again. I warned them also not to test Cavorite on the Moon’s
surface as it could blow both them and the atmosphere of this satellite away.
Thank God I managed to survive using a cavorite sheet that I created and then
come back to this planet and with a simple chemical reaction create an oxygen
atmosphere. May that box you are holding sir be a video recorder? If it is I am
deeply sorry for my rushing dear viewers but it has been years since I last
talked to a human being!! Oh, by the way gentlemen, do you happen to know
who the current Queen of England is?
- “Man, that’s a big mouth Neil!”
- Don’t listen to him Buzz. It’s an illusion! No, it’s an alien who is trying to
brainwash us in order to become his slaves and eat our brains!
- Hey, you two gentlemen. Sorry to interrupt you but as I said earlier this
satellite has atmosphere so I can hear what you say and you can also hear me.
There is absolutely bmbmmbm no point in talking with your technologically
Advanced radio transmitters. And no, sir Neil, I am not a so – called alien
bmbmbmbmb and I surely do not want to brainwash you nor eat your brain – a
loss of a brain is a possible loss for a new discovery. As for you Mr. Buzz,
Bedford used to say that also. What are you waiting for? Take the glass balls
off your head so we can communicate properly.
- Okay, now I’m confused.
- I already said NOT TO LISTEN TO HIM. Emm… Hello there, you. Me human.
He human. We come in peace. Who are you?
- I do not comprehend at all your skepticism. I already told you I am Cavor and I
have come here in a cavorite sphere which I built fifty-eight years ago with
Bedford and he escaped first returning to earth with our sphere, then I tried to
contact him with a radio transmitter but suddenly it stopped working. After that
the Selenites tried to bmbmbmbm create cavorite, destroyed half the satellite,
I managed to survive, then you to come. I do not understand what you two do
Not understand! All I want from you is to take me back to earth.
- Okay I trust him. If he wanted to kill us he would have already done so.
- Thank you gentlemen, you certainly won’t regret it.
Chapter 30 “ Reunion”
“I am alone, I know. I can feel what the people I pass by are thinking about me.
I can hear it clearly. People have stopped believing in my stories twenty years
ago……. I KNOW ! Everyone says I’m a liar, a phony, that I made the whole
story up or that I am crazy. Do they want proof? I DON’T HAVE ANY…and
anyway, did I ever recall telling them to believe in me? No, I am wrong. People
believed in me and everything I said. It was just that I couldn’t find a way to
convince myself that there was even the slightest possibility of hope that I could
speak with my friend. IF ONLY I HAD PROOF!.... maybe…my memories
are the only thing in this god forsaken planet which know the truth. If only there
was a machine… that could read my most deepest thoughts and project them as a
film…..Or maybe, this is all a dream, a nightmare, you don’t know what kind of
tricks the mind plays on you. But, what am I saying. Is it possible that I
could imagine this adventure, or even my life? Even if I could would I ever, but
EVER have the right to doubt them! Everybody knows that our memories are
unforgettable bonds that unite us and give us the right to call ourselves sane
beings. If I even doubt my OWN MEMORIES maybe I am alone, no I’m not
even close to being alone, I can say that I don’t even exist. NO BEDFORD KEEP
YOUR COOL! DON’T THINK LIKE THAT! NOW YOU WILL SAY THAT
YOU CAN EVEN HEAR CAVOR, ahh that beautiful sound he made…”
-bzzmmmmzzzzm…….
-Yes, just like that….
-bzzmmmmzzzzm……
-Okay that’s enough I’m freaking out now!
- What are you talking about Bedford?
- BENCH , you talked?! OR IS IT YOU, TREE? Okay, I officially announce it, I AM
TOTALLY CRAZY!
- You are acting pretty strange my friend, bzmmmmzzm , I had better take your
blood pressure.
- That touch…..is it…POSSIBLE!! IS IT YOU CAVOR ?!! OH MY GOD!!
CAVOOOOOR – But Why, How, When What, Who, WHAT IS GOING ON?
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE? WHY DO YOU LOOK SO YOUNG?
HOW DID YOU ESCAPE FROM THE SELENITES? WHAT HAPPENED UP
THERE?
- beez, Bedford! Honestly, how can you believe bzzzmmzmm I can answer all
your questions at once? And stop crying already! You totally embarrass yourself
bzzmmmzzzm! And what is with this face? You like you are eighty years old or
something! How much have you cried these two years to become like that?
- What are you saying? This has been fifty-eight whole years!!
- Oh, you are right, I forgot! Never mind .. Let’s go home and I will tell you
Everyth-bzzzzmmm-ing there.
THE END?
Λαμπρινή Βασιλοπούλου
After Cavor stopped sending messages from the Moon, Julius and I started thinking
about the reason.
“Maybe Selenites prevented Cavor from communicating with us and generally with
the whole Earth.” I said
“Did you hear what he said to them?!!” “Humanity has a propensity for war.” It’s like
he doesn’t want to return to his home!
“Don’t be angry with him. What would you do if you were him?” Julius asked.
Then we stopped talking. We were at Cavor’s house. It was summer and the birds
outside the window were singing their beautiful songs as every afternoon.
At that moment an idea came to me, I got up quickly like thunder in the sky and
began to explain to Julius what I had thought.
“Well, listen to me. Cavor is on the Moon and we want to bring him back. How can
we do this? It’s perfectly simple !” At this point I paused because I felt that I was
Cavor, only he makes things so simple. Then I continued…….
“ To be transported back to Earth he needs the sphere and the sphere is there!”
“Yes, I agree with you, but Cavor doesn’t know that. He’s in the Selenite’s
subterranean city.”
“I know but there is however someone else that we can communicate with.”
“Who?”
“Tommy Simmons. If we are lucky, he will be somewhere near the sphere.”
“So what? How will we do that?”
“I have already thought about this too!” There I made an even bigger pause . I felt
that my legs had been cut by this similarity. Suddenly, a crazy possibility that Cavor
managed to get into my brain and connect with me in an extraterrestrial way beated
at me for a few seconds. What else could I do? I did my cross and continued even
Julius was looking at me wondering about my behavior.
“Well fortunately in the sphere I had forgotten a piece of apparatus which can
connect with this one” and I showed him a small apparatus that looked like a
chronometer but it wasn’t.
“The only thing we have to do is just press this key and after that we can talk to that
boy” I explained.
“I hope it’s a good idea and that it works!”
“OK! Let’s see!” and I pressed the key.
We heard a noise and we understood that we were online. I looked at Julius and he
looked at me too. With some movements we managed to communicate and decided
that we would speak first.
“Tommy Simmons, it’s Bedford from Earth! Can you hear me? asked Julius
pretending to be me since I was the only one Tommy recognized.
“Yes, I can! a voice from the apparatus answered. Tommy sounded like he was
scared and he didn’t recognize the voice.
“Very good !” Julius said in excitement. "Let’s go on. There is only one way to come
back. Listen to me carefully. Another man is on the Moon too. His name is Cavor
and he was kidnapped by the Selenites. So what you have to do is to free him.”
“But how can I do this?”
“Their undercover city is underground. Selenites are perfectly fragile. With some
blows you can kill them. Cavor is the creator of the sphere and he knows everything
about it. So your only hope to come back to Earth is to find Cavor and liberate him.
Tommy, can you hear me?”
“Yes, yes I can” answered Tommy with a trembling voice.
“Everything is up to you!”
And at that moment the line was cut off. I was so angry that I kicked the whole table
with the apparatus on it. Of course it fell down and unfortunately it broke.
“I’m a fool” I said again. “Why have I done? Now there are two human lives trapped
on the Moon and everything for some gold!” I cried.
After that followed the most quiet five minutes in my life.
Both Julius and I were thinking. I don’t know about him, bur I regretted what I had
done. I had broken the apparatus and it didn’t help the situation.
“I’m sorry” I said.
“It ‘s OK. Besides it’s not sure that we could connect again.”
After that we stayed there and talked. It was dark outside, the night had already
Come. From the window you could see the Moon. It was a full Moon that night and I
think that I saw the crater I had visited.
Meanwhile, Tommy was in the sphere, I knew it and all the events below because of
the explanation he gave me when he finally arrived.
According to him, he found a sketch with an unusual helmet. Then, he looked for a
note with his eyes on the power and……bingo! “The helmet offers oxygen!” He tried
to find such a helmet in the sphere. A minute later he saw a brown suitcase, he
opened it and two helmets were there. He wore one of them and got out of the
spaceship. Tommy was on time! The lunar day was at its beginning. He spent much
time watching the Moon’s strange planets growing. Anyway, he began to walk and
adapt to the gravitation. He fell down many times, but in the end he made it. As he
was walking, he saw a cave.
“Maybe it’s the entrance to the Selenite’s city….”he thought.
What else could he do? His desire to touch his planet’s ground again was powerful
enough to move his legs and enter.
“Oh, God! It’s too dark here, I can’t see anything !” he complained. Then, he
managed to find the key on the helmet which turns on the light. Then he kept going.
Suddenly, he heard a boom …..boom….boom….. just like we did. Some seconds
later he came face to face with two of them. “They could hear the sound of my teeth”
he told me.
“OK, I was a little scared! I didn’t know what to do, when I remembered your words:
they’re perfectly brittle. “I hit them and then I began to kick them with so much force,
that you can’t imagine.” At this point I think that Tommy exaggerated. In my opinion, I
know better than anyone how to kill Selenites.
“I killed them and walked through the cave. I had decided that every creature I saw, I
would kill. The truth is that I killed many of them when I finally reached a big room. I
didn’t enter. Inside was a human being. It was a man with a brown beard and
glasses. Immediately I understood that he was Cavor. Now your’re going to ask me
why I didn’t talk to him. It wasn’t so simple. In the same room was the biggest
Selenite I have ever seen. It was the “Grand Lunar” and he was talking with Cavor in
English. Oh, Lord? It’s the craziest thing I have seen in my whole life!
I had to do something. I thought that the best thing I could do was just wait. I had
already waited for half an hour and I could have waited much more if two other
Selenites hadn’t entered the room from another door. To my luck they took the
Grand Lunar from there but before they left they locked all the doors including the one
in front of me. Cavor was inside.
“Hey, Mr. Cavor,”I said.
“Who are you?” he asked.
“I’m Tommy and I’m here alone, but with the sphere.”
“So you’re the intruder they’re looking for!”
“Oh,no! God help me!”
He knew that the metal the railings were made of was soft enough to bend. I decided
to follow him. I was sure he knew a short way to reach the surface. I was wrong for a
second time. Although we didn’t have this knowledge we managed to travel a long
way without seeing any Selenite, but by the end there was an army of them. We hid
Straightaway and we turned down the helmet’s light. Fortunately we made it! We had
reached the surface.
Five minutes later we were in the sphere and only there did I realize that I could
breathe without the helmet. I felt so silly! Although it had proved useful because of
its light. Anyway, the journey had begun and I was impatient to see my family and of
course to eat something and to drink some water and all of this on EARTH!!
During all those hours I was with Julius. In the morning they came back to our planet.
The sphere landed next to Cavor’s house. Julius and I had fallen asleep in our
armchairs, but the big noise of the landing woke us. Cavor and Tommy were there.
Some hours later I realized that I couldn’t remember anything from the previous night,
after the image of the full Moon in the sky. I had a headache and Julius too. The
only thing I remember is that in the morning I saw the bottle of whisky empty……...

I KNOW ! Everyone says I’m a liar, a phony, that I made the whole story up or that I am crazy. Do they want proof? I DON’T HAVE ANY…and anyway, did I ever recall telling them to believe in me? No, I am wrong. People believed in me and everything I said. It was just that I couldn’t find a way to convince myself that there was even the slightest possibility of hope that I could speak with my friend. IF ONLY I HAD PROOF!.... maybe…my memories are the only thing in this god forsaken planet which know the truth. If only there was a machine… that could read my most deepest thoughts and project them as a film…..Or maybe, this is all a dream, a nightmare, you don’t know what kind of tricks the mind plays on you. But, what am I saying. Is it possible that I could imagine this adventure, or even my life? Even if I could would I ever, but EVER have the right to doubt them! Everybody knows that our memories are unforgettable bonds that unite us and give us the right to call ourselves sane beings. If I even doubt my OWN MEMORIES maybe I am alone, no I’m not even close to being alone, I can say that I don’t even exist. NO BEDFORD KEEP YOUR COOL! DON’T THINK LIKE THAT! NOW YOU WILL SAY THAT YOU CAN EVEN HEAR CAVOR, ahh that beautiful sound he made…” -bzzmmmmzzzzm……. -Yes, just like that…. -bzzmmmmzzzzm…… -Okay that’s enough I’m freaking out now! - What are you talking about Bedford? - BENCH , you talked?! OR IS IT YOU, TREE? Okay, I officially announce it, I AM TOTALLY CRAZY! - You are acting pretty strange my friend, bzmmmmzzm , I had better take your blood pressure. - That touch…..is it…POSSIBLE!!

    Λαμπρινή Βασιλοπούλου After Cavorstopped sending messages from the Moon, Julius and I started thinking about the reason. “Maybe Selenites prevented Cavor from communicating with us and generally with the whole Earth.” I said “Did you hear what he said to them?!!” “Humanity has a propensity for war.” It’s like he doesn’t want to return to his home! “Don’t be angry with him. What would you do if you were him?” Julius asked. Then we stopped talking. We were at Cavor’s house. It was summer and the birds outside the window were singing their beautiful songs as every afternoon. At that moment an idea came to me, I got up quickly like thunder in the sky and began to explain to Julius what I had thought. “Well, listen to me. Cavor is on the Moon and we want to bring him back. How can we do this? It’s perfectly simple !” At this point I paused because I felt that I was Cavor, only he makes things so simple. Then I continued……. “ To be transported back to Earth he needs the sphere and the sphere is there!” “Yes, I agree with you, but Cavor doesn’t know that. He’s in the Selenite’s subterranean city.” “I know but there is however someone else that we can communicate with.” “Who?” “Tommy Simmons. If we are lucky, he will be somewhere near the sphere.” “So what? How will we do that?” “I have already thought about this too!” There I made an even bigger pause . I felt that my legs had been cut by this similarity. Suddenly, a crazy possibility that Cavor managed to get into my brain and connect with me in an extraterrestrial way beated at me for a few seconds. What else could I do? I did my cross and continued even Julius was looking at me wondering about my behavior. “Well fortunately in the sphere I had forgotten a piece of apparatus which can connect with this one” and I showed him a small apparatus that looked like a chronometer but it wasn’t.

    “The only thingwe have to do is just press this key and after that we can talk to that boy” I explained. “I hope it’s a good idea and that it works!” “OK! Let’s see!” and I pressed the key. We heard a noise and we understood that we were online. I looked at Julius and he looked at me too. With some movements we managed to communicate and decided that we would speak first. “Tommy Simmons, it’s Bedford from Earth! Can you hear me? asked Julius pretending to be me since I was the only one Tommy recognized. “Yes, I can! a voice from the apparatus answered. Tommy sounded like he was scared and he didn’t recognize the voice. “Very good !” Julius said in excitement. "Let’s go on. There is only one way to come back. Listen to me carefully. Another man is on the Moon too. His name is Cavor and he was kidnapped by the Selenites. So what you have to do is to free him.” “But how can I do this?” “Their undercover city is underground. Selenites are perfectly fragile. With some blows you can kill them. Cavor is the creator of the sphere and he knows everything about it. So your only hope to come back to Earth is to find Cavor and liberate him. Tommy, can you hear me?” “Yes, yes I can” answered Tommy with a trembling voice. “Everything is up to you!” And at that moment the line was cut off. I was so angry that I kicked the whole table with the apparatus on it. Of course it fell down and unfortunately it broke. “I’m a fool” I said again. “Why have I done? Now there are two human lives trapped on the Moon and everything for some gold!” I cried. After that followed the most quiet five minutes in my life. Both Julius and I were thinking. I don’t know about him, bur I regretted what I had done. I had broken the apparatus and it didn’t help the situation. “I’m sorry” I said. “It ‘s OK. Besides it’s not sure that we could connect again.” After that we stayed there and talked. It was dark outside, the night had already

    Come. From thewindow you could see the Moon. It was a full Moon that night and I think that I saw the crater I had visited. Meanwhile, Tommy was in the sphere, I knew it and all the events below because of the explanation he gave me when he finally arrived. According to him, he found a sketch with an unusual helmet. Then, he looked for a note with his eyes on the power and……bingo! “The helmet offers oxygen!” He tried to find such a helmet in the sphere. A minute later he saw a brown suitcase, he opened it and two helmets were there. He wore one of them and got out of the spaceship. Tommy was on time! The lunar day was at its beginning. He spent much time watching the Moon’s strange planets growing. Anyway, he began to walk and adapt to the gravitation. He fell down many times, but in the end he made it. As he was walking, he saw a cave. “Maybe it’s the entrance to the Selenite’s city….”he thought. What else could he do? His desire to touch his planet’s ground again was powerful enough to move his legs and enter. “Oh, God! It’s too dark here, I can’t see anything !” he complained. Then, he managed to find the key on the helmet which turns on the light. Then he kept going. Suddenly, he heard a boom …..boom….boom….. just like we did. Some seconds later he came face to face with two of them. “They could hear the sound of my teeth” he told me. “OK, I was a little scared! I didn’t know what to do, when I remembered your words: they’re perfectly brittle. “I hit them and then I began to kick them with so much force, that you can’t imagine.” At this point I think that Tommy exaggerated. In my opinion, I know better than anyone how to kill Selenites. “I killed them and walked through the cave. I had decided that every creature I saw, I would kill. The truth is that I killed many of them when I finally reached a big room. I didn’t enter. Inside was a human being. It was a man with a brown beard and glasses. Immediately I understood that he was Cavor. Now your’re going to ask me why I didn’t talk to him. It wasn’t so simple. In the same room was the biggest Selenite I have ever seen. It was the “Grand Lunar” and he was talking with Cavor in English. Oh, Lord? It’s the craziest thing I have seen in my whole life!
  • 11.
    I had todo something. I thought that the best thing I could do was just wait. I had already waited for half an hour and I could have waited much more if two other Selenites hadn’t entered the room from another door. To my luck they took the Grand Lunar from there but before they left they locked all the doors including the one in front of me. Cavor was inside. “Hey, Mr. Cavor,”I said. “Who are you?” he asked. “I’m Tommy and I’m here alone, but with the sphere.” “So you’re the intruder they’re looking for!” “Oh,no! God help me!” He knew that the metal the railings were made of was soft enough to bend. I decided to follow him. I was sure he knew a short way to reach the surface. I was wrong for a second time. Although we didn’t have this knowledge we managed to travel a long way without seeing any Selenite, but by the end there was an army of them. We hid Straightaway and we turned down the helmet’s light. Fortunately we made it! We had reached the surface. Five minutes later we were in the sphere and only there did I realize that I could breathe without the helmet. I felt so silly! Although it had proved useful because of its light. Anyway, the journey had begun and I was impatient to see my family and of course to eat something and to drink some water and all of this on EARTH!! During all those hours I was with Julius. In the morning they came back to our planet. The sphere landed next to Cavor’s house. Julius and I had fallen asleep in our armchairs, but the big noise of the landing woke us. Cavor and Tommy were there. Some hours later I realized that I couldn’t remember anything from the previous night, after the image of the full Moon in the sky. I had a headache and Julius too. The only thing I remember is that in the morning I saw the bottle of whisky empty……...
