As he stood on his doorstep looking out into the black space that surrounded his planet (Mars) Froggy Man spotted, in the distance, the planet he had heard so much about – planet Earth.
‘That’s it! Today is the day I will go to planet Earth! I’m sure there won’t be any stinky space rats there.’ So, with fresh resolve, Froggy Man walked round to the back of his home to the place where he kept his rocket.
The space rocket stood tall and was bright orange in colour so that no one could miss it as it flew against the black backdrop of space. Froggy Man stretched out his long green finger and pressed the little green button next to the door of his rocket. It opened outwards and downwards creating a few steps for Froggy Man to climb up. He stood at the doorway of the rocket and waved, ‘Goodbye Mars! And good riddance stinky space rats!’
The door closed as Froggy Man sat down in the driving seat and began to put on his seat belts. ‘One seatbelt… two seatbelts… three seat belts… and four! …and five, six, seven, eight, nine!’ (Yes, there were nine seatbelts in his rocket, just to keep him extra safe as his rocket blasted into space.) ‘Here we go! Three… two… one… BLAST OFF!!!’
As his rocket shot off into space, at an incredible speed, Froggy Man looked out the window and watched his planet become smaller and smaller as he flew further and further away. It was not long before Mars looked as small as a marble.
Froggy Man began to get excited as he headed closer and closer to Earth. ‘Ooh, I can’t wait! I wonder what it will be like there? I wonder if they like to eat Bloorr for breakfast?’ These were just a few of the many thoughts that were going through his head as he could see planet Earth getting bigger and bigger.
Suddenly, there was a ‘BOOM!’ and a ‘CRACK!’ and a ‘KAPUTH!’ as the engine of Froggy Man’s rocket died!
‘AAAAAHHHHHH!’ screamed Froggy Man as his rocket began to fall quickly. He was so near to Earth, but not quite there. His rocket was being pulled down towards a big grey rock.
‘I’M GOING DOWN! GOODBYE SPACE!’ Froggy Man thought it was the end for him as his rocket came down onto the rock with a great big ‘CRASH!!’
