CAPTAIN AUDIO: "The Moon or Bust"
LIEUTENANT CHEERIO: "Rockets Away"
ROCKET SHIP: ZZZZOOoommmm
EAGLE: Creeee, Creeee
SATELLITE: Whirl, Whirl
RADIO: Bleeurp, Bleeurp
SHOOTING STAR: Bang, Bang
Everyone was watching as some men came out of the control tower.
They were CAPTAIN AUDIO and LIEUTENANT CHEERIO who were headed
for their ROCKET SHIP. This was the first time that anyone had
tried to reach the moon in a ROCKET SHIP. CAPTAIN AUDIO climbed
into the cockpit and strapped himself into his seat. LIEUTENANT
CHEERIO climbed into his place next to CAPTAIN AUDIO and checked
the RADIO. It was filled with static. CAPTAIN AUDIO fired the
rockets to make the ROCKET SHIP leave the ground and head for the
moon.
As they reached outer space, they heard a strange noise on the
hull of the ROCKET SHIP. It was a lonely EAGLE, hanging on for
the ride. LIEUTENANT CHEERIO snapped on the RADIO to tell the
people on earth about the EAGLE, but all he got was static.
Further on, the ROCKET SHIP passed a SHOOTING STAR and a
SATELLITE that was whirling in its orbit. As they circled the
SATELLITE, CAPTAIN AUDIO and LIEUTENANT CHEERIO waved, while the
EAGLE climbed onto the SHOOTING STAR that was headed in the same
direction. He was tired of riding on the smooth side of the
ROCKET SHIP. The pilot tried to tell earth, but his RADIO still
sent nothing but static.
Soon they could see the surface of the moon very clearly.
LIEUTENANT CHEERIO warned CAPEAIN AUDIO to steer clear of the
SATELLITE ahead, but to their surprise it turned out to be the
EAGLE riding his SHOOTING STAR. They got closer and closer to the
moon. Slowly they let the ROCKET SHIP down for a landing. When it
touched, out climbed CAPTAIN AUDIO and LIEUTENANT CHEERIO. Next
to them landed the EAGLE on his SHOOTING STAR that they had
mistaken for a SATELLITE. A strange creature approached them and
they realized it was the "Man in the Moon." As CAPTAIN AUDIO
reached out to shake hands with the creature, it said "Sorry, but
we are not made of green cheese, we are made of static." At this
point, the creature slowly sank out of sight.
