Oliver is a boy who dreams of going to the moon. One day, he gets a
surprise. His dad is an astronaut. He invites Oliver to come on his spaceship.
Oliver is excited and nervous. He puts on his spacesuit and climbs into the
spaceship. The spaceship takes off. He looks out the window. He sees the
Earth getting smaller and smaller.
Oliver and his dad land on the moon. They step out of the spaceship and onto
the moon. It is dusty and grey. Oliver and his dad jump and bounce around.
Suddenly, Oliver sees a strange creature. It looks like a giant worm. Oliver
gets scared, but his dad tells him it’s a gigantic Moon Worm. Oliver laughs
and feels silly. Oliver takes a picture of the Moon Worm. He puts some baby
Moon Worms in his pocket.
Oliver says goodbye to the Moon Worms. Oliver feels sad that the trip is over,
but he is happy that he got to go to the moon.
