Planet Mars - a story by Cass

When we landed on Planet Mars we saw shiny golden stars. Then we saw brave blue aliens and sparkly golden moons. Then we saw shallow blue holes in the deep blue sea.

Then very tiredly we entered the spaceship and zoomed back to Planet Earth and went back to have a long, long sleep. After a long sleep we went zoming back to Planet Mars. Then we came back to Yuske's house and had a nice cup of tea and some biscuits.
