Once upon a time there was a lonely little Martian named Marty.  Why he was so lonely was he didn´t have a friend.  He had decided that he would take a trip in his little spaceship.  He would set out in search of a brand new friend.  Marty was flying through space when he saw a beautiful, multi-colored planet.  It was Earth!  He said "Surely this big and beautiful planet must have a nice friend for me!" So, he headed for Earth.
