Written by Duncan on his sister's typewriter. Approx age 10.
The Molings [sic] live on the planet Mono, the only planet circulating around the middle star of Orion's belt (this is probably how the planet got it's name.)
One third of Mono is water so it is very dry there and most of this water is in small lakes or rivers and is very hard to find.
Mono is a large planet (about the size of Saturn and is really just a rock.)
It has no satellites except a small artificial one put up into space by the Mono Space Agency (or M.S.A. for short.)
This satellite is an early warning system in case of attacks from outer space.
The Molings [sic] themselves are very shy so they don't have things where they have to act in something or have to say a speech.
The only time they had something like that was when the MSA launched the satellite.
There is a famous (well to the Monlings it is) place in Ilgonda, their captical city, the Grashno.
The Grashno is a dragon-like creature but with six horns on it's scaly back. It does not breathe fire or ice it just fires a deadly beam of light from it's eyes which can cut through steel.
Anyway, back to the Monlings. They are very clever and they are much more advanced than humans.
Although they have small bones they are strong and hard working.
They hvae [sic] blue, soft fur and a long nose.
Most of them have red eyes, the rest have orange or yellow eyes.
They get food and drink from the lakes and the rivers but sonce they only eat twice a week they don't need much food or drink.
The food they ear are small animals that live deep in the water. These animals are fat and move very slowly. They are brown and unlike the Monlings they do not have any fur nor are they very clever.
They have faces like sabre-toothed tigers with long teeth (but without the stripes.)
The Monlings drink froma plant which loives [sic] in the water called Fundas.
By the way the food does not have a name but is called Mingle when it is cooked.
The Fundas and the food are caught by traps (we do not know how the traps work but scientists are trying to find out.)
The food and the Fundas are then collected by the Monlings and taken the factory where they will be checked and the food will be cooked to make Mingle.
Meanwhile the Fundas is put in a 'screwer' where the juice is taken out by the Fundas being screwed.
Then the
That's it. I'm quite fond of the Grashno: "a deadly beam of light from it's eyes which can cut through steel". Awesome.
