|1-The Story about Martians



Still  today,  many  young  Martians  are  told  the strange story about
Qh'Xzic%.   It is a very old story and some Martians even doubt if it is
true.

Once  upon  a  time,  there  was a famous land in Mars named the Land of
Illusions.   There  lived  the  happy king Pr'Zsud/.  He had a beautiful
daughter,  princess Oj'Lwer@.  All the Martians in the Land of Illusions
were happy.

But  one  gwook  (a  Martian  day,  approximately  37.643  Earth  hours)
Oj'-Lwer@  decided  to leave her father and go to the neighbouring land,
the Land of Mirages.  At this point, when the princess had left, all the
happy Martians in the Land of Illusions turned sad.

In his great castle, king Pr'Zsud/ was feeling lonely.  He couldn't even
demand  her  daughter  back  from  the Land of Mirages's king, Ig'Tkad&,
because  Oj'Lwer@  had left there all by herself.  He went to the zoo to
become  happier.   There  he  stared  at the humans, the Saturnians, the
Venusian pigs, the Jupiterians, the Earth flies, the Uranian eagles...

At  this  point,  Pr'Zsud/  thought  "Hmm.   Those behimols (Martian for
animals)  must be sad, because they are so lonely.  I am lonely too, but
why  should they be lonely?" Having thought this, king Pr'Zsud/ released
all  the  behimols.   They  were  wild and jumped all around the castle.
(Some  elder  Martians  have  told  us  that they still can hear all the
buzzing, ringing, mooing, talking, whispering, clanging etc.)

A  couple  of  gwooks  later,  Qh'Xzic%  appeared  (because the king had
announced  a  telepatery  annoucement) and offered to get Oj'Lwer@ back.
The  king  agreed,  and  so  Qh'Xzic%  set  off on a journey in his poor
spacecraft.

Suddenly,  a dragon appeared and swallowed Qh'Xzic%'s spacecraft.  After
floating  down  with  his  fiorasyte  (Martian  for  parachute) Qh'Xzic%
thought  "Aah,  it  doesn't  matter, that spacecraft wasn't so expensive
anyway."

All  by coincidence, he saw Oj'Lwer@ nearby.  A helpful peasant from the
Land  of  Mirages,  whose  name was Tr'Mduh$, had brought her here.  She
said  to  Qh'Xzic%  "I  was  so  bored.   Ig'Tkad& didn't do anything to
interest me.  So I decided to leave."

So,  with  a  mere press of a button, Tr'Mduh$'s cart was mutated into a
spacecraft.   Qh'Xzic%  thought  that  it  wasn't  clean  enough for the
princess, but it didn't matter.  And, just as they got back, all the sad
Martians in the Land of Illusions turned happy.

(Although  some  Martians  believe  that there was a difference of about
2.074 Earth minutes.)

But,  to  their  surprise,  Qh'Xzic% and Oj'Lwer@ found all the behimols
jumping  in  the  castle.  They, together with Pr'Zsud/ decided to leave
the  castle  to  the  behimols  and find another castle.  They are still
looking for it.

That  was  all,  and  now  may you Earthlings go to sleep.  The Martians
liked this story, and you shall like it too.
