Two Lovely Space Stories (Black and White): Blue Golf Ball and Outopians
Two Lovely Space Stories Blue Golf Ball This is a children's story describing a girl, Julie, who took a walk with her Dad into a golf course on a winter day. Usually, she would find golf balls on the snow covered grounds, but the golf balls were white color. On this particular day, Julie not only found a number of white golf balls but she also discovered a blue golf ball. This blue golf ball was somewhat unusual having very interesting features: The blue ball is probably a golf ball because it has the usual pits on its surface. Strangely, there is a hole in the blue golf ball; the hole is small and too perfect. So it looks like a drilled hole not a hole caused by a bullet shot through it. The blue golf ball might be a training ball, since It was found on a golf course. The blue golf ball is slightly bigger than the regular white golf balls. The blue golf ball floats in the water and turns to orient itself as if either the ball has a magnet inside or the whole ball is made of magnetic material. That may explain why the ball always rolls to a stop with the hole upright. Julie's brother Jeff said the blue golf ball may be pointing to a different angle if it was brought to North Pole or South Pole. So they gave the blue golf ball a name - Magnet. Magnet probably has air inside that is why it floats in the water. Jeff did not feel any vibration from Magnet and thought it was Julie's imagination. But Julie felt and knew that Magnet was keeping her hand warm. Julie and Jeff treasured Magnet and put it as a decoration on their Christmas tree, a blue spruce ..... On Christmas eve, oh my God, strange things happened......, it turned out that Magnet was not a golf ball at all but an alien, a Spoonie, coming from Round City of Silver Spoon Galaxy, hundreds of million miles away from Earth..... Julie's amazing discovery....., her fantastic travel through space tunnel to visit Round City with Magnet......, their encounter with the mean Looties of the Colony of Golden Crown....... and how could Julie get back to her home on Earth ...... are the main parts of this space story.
