King Zeus Of Jupiter

Updated: Jul 30

By H.Yashnashree


“I wonder when the newspaperman arrives", I mumbled to myself. I sat on my new velvety couch, tapping my legs impatiently. Finally, the newspaperman rang the doorbell and slid the newspaper under the door. I ran my fingers along my oak-paneled door, recounting that I was a secret NASA agent and that I had bought my own house.

I walked through the veranda to the kitchen and grabbed a plateful of buttered toast and a coffee from the blender. I sat on my couch, had a bite, and read the shocking news in the newspaper. The headline wrote' NASA is going to find a new planet', and down were the respectful names of the people who were going to be participating; down at the last was my name. I excitedly wore my NASA space suit and ran out of town to the NASA center.


When I reached our boss, he helped us put on our spacesuits, and we boarded a moonlight-coloured, red laser rocket ready to be launched. I saw a bundle of raw food loaded into the spaceship. Soon, the rocket launched into space, and it took us 2 months to reach space. I was eating raw macaroni and cheese when the rocket shook, I fell out of the window, and everything went black. I felt myself sliding down something invisible.

I grasped some stones and heaved myself up. I rubbed my hands and saw King Zeus of Jupiter's dusted statue! I saw our rocket coming searchingly for me! Soon our team trod down to Jupiter, took pictures of the King Zeus statue left on Earth, wrote a dazzling article about the statue, and were very excited to have another new adventure coming up. The next day, I woke up to find a ghost. It was a letter! I peeled it open with curiosity and saw a letter, a pamphlet, and a newspaper. I read all the letters, which bore the same headline: NASA is a failure. As I reached the NASA center, they told me a launch was going to be started. I yelped,”Guys nothing happened. Please be calm”.

They kept quiet as I raced out. NASA is amazing. Our distinguished boss at NASA has appealed for a glamorous statue on Jupiter that has been structured on its own. The boss says," Our significant worker here, Yashnashree, has done a major from the little mishap". I knew it, my plan was like on a tip of an iceberg. Thanks to my healthy tragedy that found us getting to know the statue.
