The day the car broke down

ByStudents from EXE503

We were on our way to the EXE503…

When all of a suddenthe car came to a dead stop.What would we do? We can’t miss class,Not today--

So we tried to use our magic fairy dust to appear right in the middle of our classroom. Unfortunately, our aim was off due to an errant sneeze and we ended up on the surface of Mars. Popular opinion and general group consensus affirmed that Mars was not the intended destination. After brainstorming solutions to our interplanetary dilemma, we used the fairy dust to appear back on earth.

But, due to group squabbling and an unfortunate slip of the wrist while in the process of dust-sprinkling, we ended up on top of the Kuwaiti Towers.

So, we decided to use our wispy witches brooms to fly from the Kuwaiti Towers to BBS for our (wonderfully informative) graduate class.

But, our brooms were in need of repair due to faulty bristles and poorly placed splinters and we were lucky

to land without gross amounts of injury or personal discomfort.

• So we sat down on the pavement looking desperate and searching for solution. After a storm of ideas we found ourselves in a trap stuck in the same place we started. All of a sudden something shiny bright caught our attention

• . It was ancient brass lamp covered with dust. WE picked it up and brushed it. And all of sudden the Genie appeared ‘How Can I serve you folks? You have 1 wish!!”. So without any hesitation we claimed a magic carpet and that is what we received! We jumped on it full of happiness and relief.

• But we were so heavy for this ancient carpet that it decided to drop us off somewhere.

So, suddenly a bouncy, dark brown kangaroo appeared ,stopped and stared at us. With no time to waste and no other options, we were in a hurry to catch a ride , we promptly decided to use it to carry us to class.

But, as quickly as we started the kangaroo began to slow down and stop every now and then giving out a low groan scratching its belly and bending down, bleeding. It finally dropped to the ground with a sigh of exhaustion and we fell off its back, wondering what was going on. Out of the blue, we heard squeaky, squishy, little sound of a new baby kangaroo had just been born! Getting to class seemed more remote than ever.

So we decided to THUMP THUMP THUMP “Put on our anti-gravity-rocketing-through-the-stars-boots!” And so we did, hurtling through the traffic of space buggies, neon zingers and punk-loud-music that got quieter and quieter until we noticed that we began to sink. “Aaaaarghhh!” We, the ultimate space riders, screamed and plummeted to the ground with a THUD! WE tried to stand up but …

Apparently we had zoomed far too fast through an orbital shrink zone and on wobbly legs peered up at the very long grasses that surrounded us as we crawled out of our now massive anti gravity boots.“What now?” We said, looking around us at the surrounding immensity.!

So we decided to fly on a hot air balloon to BBS.

But unfortunately we flew into a flock of fierce birds with pointed beak that popped our

wonderful and colorful balloon.

So we decided to close our eyes and blink, blink, blink.

AND WE WERE THERE AS QUICK AS A WINK.
