Zeke had forgotten. Earthlings did not call themselves earthlings.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “I mean, how do all those strange people fit in that teeny tiny car?” he said instead.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “I don’t know,” Eddie said. “It’s a clown trick.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Zeke watched as three more earthlings with red noses and rainbow­ colored hair piled out of the car.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e There was no way they could have all been in there at the same time.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e But it sure looked like they were.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Sometimes the strangest things happen on Planet Earth.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “That clown just sprayed soda on the other one’s head,” Amelia said. “Ha ha ha.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Zeke reached into his pocket and pulled out a tissue.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Here you go,” he said to Amelia. Amelia looked at the tissue. Then she looked at Zeke.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “What’s that for?” she asked him. “For your nose,” Zeke told her. “You’re a funny guy, Zeke,” Amelia said.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Zeke looked at Amelia strangely. What is so funny about a tissue?\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Here comes the tiger trainer,” Eddie said.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Zeke watched as an earthling led three orange-and-black cats into the center ring. There were three stools waiting there.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The earthling yelled something at the giant cats.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The giant cats jumped up onto the stools.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The earthling lifted his hand.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The cats leaped up onto their hind legs.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The earthling turned his hand in a circle.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The cats danced around and around.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Wow! It looked like the earthling was in charge of the big cats.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e That would never happen on Planet Z.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e On Planet Z, the cats were in charge.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Of course, Zeke wasn’t on Planet Z anymore. He was on Earth.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e He’d been here since his family’s spaceship had crashed. And he was stuck here until they were able to fix the ship and fly home.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Still, Earth wasn’t all bad.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Earth kids played fun games like tag and hide-and-seek.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e They went to great places like the circus.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e And they drank sweet apple juice.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Zeke was thirsty. He pulled his juice box from his backpack.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e He stuck one end of the straw through the little silver circle.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Then he stuck the other end of the straw in his ear and started to drink.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Eddie watched Zeke slurp up the apple juice. Then he let out a loud “ha ha ha.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “I’m sorry,” Zeke said. “I’m all out of tissues.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Eddie gave him a funny look. “Huh?” he asked.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Zeke took another sip of his apple juice.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “I love your ear trick,” Eddie told him. “Someday I’m going to figure out how you make the juice disappear into there.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Zeke frowned. He ho ped Eddie never figured it out. Because then he would know Zeke was a kid from Planet Z. All zeebops drank with their ears.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Zeke could never let Eddie know that he and his family came from outer space. He couldn’t let anyone know.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Because there was no telling what horrible things might happen if information like that got into the wrong hands.","brand":"Grosset \u0026 Dunlap","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46305407172837,"sku":"NP9780451533432","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780451533432.jpg?v=1767725527","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/dont-sneeze-2-isbn-9780451533432","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
