My mother writes fan fiction... I'm so proud.
One of my favorite T.V. shows is Doctor Who. He is a Time Lord and travels the Universe. On a recent episode The Doctor travelled to a faraway galaxy. His time machine, the TARDIS, went out of control when it encountered a meteor tempest. This made the Tardis flounder in space. Suddenly he landed on a place he had never been before, the planet of Acathi. He found that Acathi is a primitive land. Some parts were scorched and shriveled because the planet has two suns and little water. While he was exploring, he met the Baders, some of the natives from a local tribe. Their dwellings were inconspicuous as they took advantage of the cracked earth to hide in. The Baders were very friendly to The Doctor because they had heard tales of him from other visitors. The Baders invited The Doctor to dine with them. A banquet was served where there was a cornucopia of strange new foods and drinks. Since he was ravenous from all his exploring, he eagerly began to eat. During the meal the head chief, Navi, explained how they had trounced a rival tribe in a big battle with few casualties on their side. One of the strategies they used was decoy warriors. Navi was able to articulate how they won the battle through hand gestures. Although The Doctor enjoyed his visit, it was time to go and with the familiar sounds of squealing, off he went in the TARDIS.
It started as a Word of the Day practice for her eighth graders, but it's so wonderful, I had to share.
Hope you like it! Momma Sauk might even make another appearance...
