Ficlets

(Brebelles Challenge)The Alien Arrival (Silly Story)

Their space ship landing in a field, (causing odd crop circles), the two descended the escalator and stood still observing their surroundings.

“Gerbblfallet uj glib”, ( translated to “what is that fat thing standing in the field?”), said the grayer of the pair.
“Bliff dorfen ger splatt’, (translated to “The manual says cow”), the shorter of the duo replied.

They warily approached the cow, it stopped chewing it’s cud, looked up, said, “Moo”,( translated to “Moo”).
They tried to lift the heifer, to no avail.
They pushed it toward the flyer saucer they rode in on.
“Huff toot be dung”, (translated to ” what’s next on the list?”).
“Hubaba, pert gorf”, (translated to “a human”).
Their search took them to a small town in Virginia. A monkey the size of a peanut looked at them. They checked their list.
“Gud ev kerp”, (translated to “good enough”).
They loaded the monkey into the cargo section with the cow and flew into hyper space at warp speed.

I liked the translation for ‘Moo’. Very silly, very random, perfect fit for the challenge.

Wonderfully random and silly (and it made sense at the same time). My favorite line was the translation about the monkey: “Gud ev kerp”, (translated to “good enough”).

I love the translations. I also love that the last couple of Ficlets I have read from you have been about Aliens landing here on Earth. ;D I can picture them with a “Field Guide” of sorts, looking at the species, comparing photos, and re-checking, sort of like bird watchers.

This is amazing. It makes sense, and remains silly. Excellent work, as always.
