Fantastic Encounter

By Koharu S.

In 20XX, there was one planet in which many sea creatures were living.
The planet, far from the Earth, had so much marine life that it did not have

enough space for all the creatures. So they were looking for some planet

which had a wide sea to move to. Licky, who is a sea creature like octopus and
a researcher on that planet, found the very planet they were hoping for. The
name of that was Earth. He found that the Earth once had huge land but until

20XX, global warming has damaged Earth drastically and the land has

become so small that the sea is becoming wider and wider. Then Licky and his
co-worker Andy, who is also a sea creature but like squid, decided to go and

search the Earth.
It took them one hundred years to reach the Earth. When they finally

arrived there, they had little food to eat. At first, they couldn’t find any lives
there and they thought there were no living things on the Earth. A few minutes

later, however, one girl appeared from behind the tree in the very little land.
She said “Hi! My name is Catherine. I am the last human living on Earth. Why

don’t we be friends?”, and she gave them some food. Licky and Andy were so
surprised because it never occurred to them that there were living things and

she was friendly towards them. As they heard her voice, they remembered
their children on their home planet. It was very easy for them to understand

her feelings. Then they decided to be her friends and help her to rebuild the
Earth. They tried many things to make the Earth flourish again. Thanks to

their contribution, hundreds of years later, there were a lot of human children
playing with sea creature children. [306 words]
