The Dog Didn't Eat My Homework

The Dog Didn’t Eat my Homework.

Timmy Thompson was the smart kid, who ALWAYS had his work done. He

loved watching the other children squirm and squiggle when they told their fairytales

about what happened to their homework.

Never once did he think he would have to explain why his homework was not

completed.

One day, Timmy awoke. To his dismay, his homework was nowhere!
.
Franticly, he rushed around his room finding bits of notebook paper on the floor.

Following the trail of papers, he heard crunching noises.

Opening his closet, he spotted an alien finishing off his math assignment. Timmy

screamed. “That is mine!”

The alien grinned, “That was a good breakfast. You have any more? I am

hungry!”

Timmy whined, “You ate my homework!”

“Aliens don’t eat homework! Dogs do that,” the alien pointed out. “You have a

Timmy sighed, “Are you crazy? You ate the homework and lied. Then, you ask

me to bring you to my leader. Forget it!” He walked away annoyed.

The school bell rang, and Timmy took a seat, waiting to explain himself. He

slowly began to speak, watching the teacher roll her eyes, “The dog didn’t eat my

homework, an alien did.”

His classmates laughed and taunted him, as he stood ready to cry.

The alien came in quietly, and then he spoke, “The dog did not eat the homework.

I, the Alien, did!”
