Before he could go into space Wom needed to meet certain physical requirements. He trained for weeks on his running machine.
Next, to simulate the sort of forces he would experience he spent some time in the G force simulator. Afterwards he felt very dizzy.
Wom passed all the tests and became an astronaut. Launch day soon arrived and the clock was set at T- 60 seconds. 3...2...1...BLAST OFF and with a jet of flame Wom was on his way to space.
Space was HUGE and Wom could not believe his eyes. He could see all kinds of planets and even a moon.
The pink planet looked the most appealing so he set a course, 'Engage' he thought to himself, though he did not know why. As Wom journeyed the many light years to the planet he was glad he had his space helmet to supply oxygen.
As Wom landed on the pink planet he was greeted by a strange cubic lifeform. 'All visitors must wear the customary pink hat' the cube said. Wom accepted the hat and wore it with pride.
Wom decided to explore the planet and he came across many cubes and even a red and white cubeling. The young cube said Wom should meet the chief cube who was cloured blue and orange.
Wom jorneyed the pink plains, hills and forests and finally came to where the chief cube lived. 'Ah, a new visitor, good good, welcome to our planet.' said chief cube. Wom spent all week on the pink planet enjoying many luxuries including the planets specialty,battenburg cake.
Wom missed home and so it was almost time to leave. As Wom was making his preperations to leave a cube waddled over to him saying 'I don't know where my home is, I'm all muddled up'. Wom felt sorry for the cube and helped the cube find his way home.
When Wom got home he was greeted by all his friends. They were all intrigued by his new hat and wanted one. Wom had started a craze. Wom missed the pink planet but one day he might return.
THE END
