CONEHEAD`S LAND
They were lost in space for 105 days. The food had almost gone. In the last 20 days they had been eating only one meal per day. Another day had passed. They were getting desperate when thunder was heard, and a ray of light lightened the spaceship. Next thing they knew they were in the greenest planet they had ever seen. For a moment they thought they were back home. But a climatic change in the last decade had made the Earth nothing more than a desert, where most of the food had to be grown in greenhouses. Looking around them, they saw strange creatures eating grass, others walking on a small river and what looked like cats jumping from cloud to cloud.
“John”, called Peter.” Where the hell are we? ”
John shook his head while looking mesmerized at an animal that seemed like a square and said, “I have no idea!”
Meanwhile, two dwarves with cone heads approached and before they were able to grab their guns they were once again teletransported. They were now surrounded by hundreds of dwarves and in front of the most beautiful woman they had ever seen.
“Greetings “she said. “ I’m Angel, the guardian of Conehead`s land. I want to know who you are and why you are travelling through space”
“My name is John and I’m the captain of the spaceship. We came from planet Earth and...”
She didn’t let him finish and with disdain she said “You’re humans! I have heard about you. You have almost destroyed yourselves. You have any respect for nature and now you’re suffering the consequences”
They were now ashamed because no one could deny the fact that mankind have been selfish for centuries. To everyone’s surprise Dan who was the shyest one of them all started talking “You’re right. It’s embarrassing to admit it and as a biologist it is even more that we didn’t care enough about the environment and other species.”
“Admitting it doesn’t change things “she said, “And you haven’t yet answered why you were so far from home”
“We were on mission to find a new planet where we could live“, said John.
“What! Isn’t it enough that you have destroyed yours? Now you want to destroy another one “her voice was becoming more enraged “You will never learn. You were just trying to solve the problem instead of trying to understand and fix it. That way you will never learn “
“What else can we do?” asked John “We have tried everything and not even the most brilliant minds of the world have found a solution.”
“We can help you “she pointed to the dwarves “But in exchange mankind will never again be allowed to rule the Earth. No human being will ever have the power to put himself above other beings. Think about it, because once you say yes there is no comeback”
They looked at each other and at the same time they all yelled “Yes”.
