A Feast on Saturn

- Weaam Ahmed

One day after breakfast, King Zilon didn't know what to do or where to go. So Zilon, the king, counted Saturn's rings. He then counted his toes, saying, "I have seventeen, I suppose." And after awhile, the king moaned and groaned. He started shouting and roaring "It's boring here … It's very, very boring!" King Zilon called for his adviser, who was older and wiser.
He gazed at him and said,
"There's nothing to be done.
I need to have some fun."
And before he finished talking, a strong flashing light blinded their sight. Then with a cling and a clang and a terrible bang, the king said, "Such a shattering shake! Is Saturn at stake?" "Was that a quake?"
"Did Saturn's rings break?"
"No," answered his loyal adviser, who was older and wiser.
"It seems to be a huge spaceship arriving from Earth after a long trip."
