Читать книгу The Adventures Of Alex And Alvaro - Javier Salazar Calle - Страница 6

One morning, Alex and Alvaro got up and they wanted to use their new ship. Where could they go? They looked at each other and shouted simultaneously:

– To the moon!

Since they didn't know what they might need, Alex decided to look for some rope while Alvaro went looking for a piece of cheese for the trip. Daddy Javier had told them that the Moon was a giant round ball made of cheese, but they figured they ought to go prepared. Just in case.

When they put everything on the ship, they gave a very strong kiss to their mother and got ready to fly. Mother Elena counted down:

– 3… 2… 1… Liftoff!

The ship began to rise into the air and streaked off to the Moon.

It didn't take them long to get there. Alex, who was the bravest of the two, was the first to get off the ship. He jumped out the door and surprise! The jump was gigantic. He tried again and went up high.

– Alvaro! You are much lighter on the moon! – he shouted.

Alvaro, who looked at him in amazement, got off the ship too. As he was the greediest of the two, the first thing he did was to pick up a piece of moon cheese and taste it. He felt very happy.

– Alex! – he exclaimed −, the Moon really is made of cheese, just like they told us. It's a very strange cheese, but it's delicious.

That's why it seems that the moon is full of holes: someone ate some pieces off of it.

They both took a piece of the ground and ate it while they played, trying to outperform each other's stunts and pirouettes, taking advantage of the fact that they were so light. They spun around, bounced and jumped non-stop until their legs felt sore.

At the end of the day, they sat down for a while to watch the Earth, which was so blue from afar, surrounded by the starry sky. It was gorgeous.

Alex began to draw it on a piece of paper. Can you help him color it?

Before coming back home, they packed the ship full of moon cheese. They wanted to share it with their family and friends. All of them would want to go with them to the Moon now that they knew they could eat it. Then they got on the spaceship and started on their way back. They had so many things to tell their mother!

Once on Earth they organized a moon cheese party. Elena and Javier, their parents, made a big poster with their names on it. All the mice from the house came, as well as some from nearby houses. Everyone came, even their cousins. Pilar, Guille, Gonzalo and David were excited to be able to try a piece of Moon and listen to the adventures Alex and Alvaro went through to get it.

Can you find the names of our little mice and some of their cousins in the word search?
