One day an Australian farmer, Joe, saw a bright light
in the sky. The light came nearer and nearer and suddenly Joe saw that it was a
spaceship landed in a field nearby.
The door of the spaceship opened and two strange beings(怪物) climbed out. They seemed to be half man and
half bird. Joe was afraid of them. He tried to run away. But the spacemen
walked towards him, picked him up and carried him into the spaceship.
They asked him questions about Earth.
"We're from Venus(金星), "they
said, "but it is getting very hot there. A lot of our people are dying and
we haven't much time left. We are trying to find a new home."
After some time they freed Joe and at last the spaceship
took off and could not be seen.
Joe told his friends about the spacemen, but no one
believed(相信) his story.
"You will believe me one day". Joe told them. "The
spacemen will come back…"
