Where the Nerdlings took Sogwa: 1

    Where the Nerdlings took Sogwa

           Chapter One. Invaders from Space.   

           Once upon a time planet Earth was invaded by little green men from outer space. They called themselves the Nerdlings, and they called their super-spaceship the Crystal Cuddle Ship. The Nerdlings stood two feet tall, and were as green as leaves. Each Nerdling had four eyes, two pointy ears, and a radio antenna sprouting from the tip of a pointy head. Because they had radio, they could hear with each other’s ears, and see through each other’s eyes, and think about each other’s thoughts. They could also hear Earthlings’ thoughts, so it was useless to lie to them.
            They weren’t evil, just obnoxious. They were super-intelligent, but super-clueless, so they kept on asking everybody Why.

            They would say, “Mr. Leader, why are you wearing that funny suit?”

            And he’d answer, “To inspire the troops.”

            “Why?”

            “So they’ll keep fighting the war.”

            “Why?”

            “To make people forget my other mistakes.”

            “Why?”

            “So I can win the next election.”

            “Why?”

            “To stay in power.”

            “Why?”

            “To pay off my twenty-three richest friends.”

            “Why?”

            “To make them even richer.”

            “Why?”

            “Will you please stop asking why!”

            “Why?”

            Soon everybody had quite enough of this, but you couldn’t hit the Nerdlings because they were faster than a speeding bullet. Nobody knew how to get rid of them, not even Hannah. This was annoying, so Sogwa the supercat decided to do something about it.
