SC CUR oC aca cae _OXFORD BOOKWORMS [ifUnder the Moon The sun is huge, burning ball of fire. On the planet Earth we cannot live without heat and light from the sun. Around our planet. there is the ozone layer, which protects us from the sun’s fire. But what happens if the ozone layer breaks up? Today there are already small holes in it, and some people say they will get bigger and bigger — until one day there will be nothing between us and the sun's fire. It happened in 2222. So the people of Earth made the AOL — the Artificial Ozone Layer. Another thousand years of life for the beautiful planet Earth. Trees grew again, rain fell, there was water in the rivers... But now it is 2522, and the AOL is already breaking up. The new forest are beginning to burn, the rivers are running dry. Kiah and Rilla, from their spaceship. see the danger. but what can they do? Their friends in the colony under the moon are a long way away. and Gog, the Earth Commander, will not listen to them. wa ae wo MngdaiuaAarraelan ensorvindogntweastanjfign lating tsthaianansnonduariulan Tosusieaina Mayaunavudainorwarined Tantoantdulolnniatn detnutloatuaainensiaunasnrwarvined usiavifinaglsity ‘nfullout uuandare yniuilldiiagisn 9 Adulelauuda uavdleuvandgwaniies senulanjia aunnetietuntlascbifins laantune renew hacnuavenadan ainanavineaneia ly siueenfotuludl 2222 nyseiuulantaahravelouoa viodulalaw wnat shunanudenralanfionmaludweasay Adnitutnd dulsisananys anes Seneetunari ua usinowi 2522 wlouaarrdaaumndoe wibsiunslasirnsegn enor tubbrhSadtonwks Yea wiuadaniasiudunsetarnemarme VOIWINND) ugiwanunasrhas tale sfoutaswaninluatniealdoastund thsaylnauaulna uafian dtiumnalanfalumewanin~ OXFORD BOOKWORMS LIBRARY assian unuonduarauasaigy Under the Moon FingdatuaAurrawlan Stage 1 awrivin 400 ugis.

Silver answered in a smooth voice. “Yesterday morning, Doctor Livesey came down with a white flag. “Cap'n Silver,” he said, “you've lost. The ship’s gone.” We looked out and, by thunder, the ship had gone! “Let's bargain,” said the doctor. So we bargained, and here we are, in the house. And your friends? They walked off and I don’t know where they are. And now, are you going to join us, Jim?” “You're in trouble,’ I said. ‘Ship lost, treasure lost, men lost.

In a room at the back of the ship, Kiah watched the numbers on the computer in front of him. ‘Time for dinner,’ Rilla said. The numbers changed quickly and Kiah’s eyes didn’t move.

She was a beautiful girl, about twenty years old, with long black hair and big eyes. ‘Nothing’s wrong with the satellite,” Kiah answered quietly. ‘It's the AOL.’ He began to write the numbers in the book on his table. Suddenly, the numbers stopped changing. Kiah looked at Rilla. ‘Over Europe,’ he said. ‘It’s happening. The AOL is breaking up. There are big holes in the AOL and they’re getting bigger.’ “You're right! Shall we see Captain Seru now, before dinner?’ Kiah stood up. He was nearly two metres tall, with dark eyes and hair. “Yes, come on,’ he said. Quickly, they went to Captain Seru’s room. They waited at the door. ‘Come in!’ Captain Seru called. She was a little woman with a fat face. ‘Come in! Would you like a drink?” ‘No, thank you,’ Kiah answered. ‘I'd like you to look at these numbers.’ Kiah gave Captain Seru his book. Captain Seru looked at the numbers. Suddenly, her face changed. ‘No, no,’ she said. ‘I don’t want to talk. It’s late and I’m tired. Sit down and have a drink.’ Kiah and Rilla sat down. There was a big window in Captain Seru’s room. Kiah looked out of the window at the dark sky. He saw the Moon. It was cold and white in the dark sky. “Captain Seru,’ he began. ‘It’s important.

The AOL is beginning to— ‘Stop!’ Captain Seru stood up and put her hands in her pockets. She went to the window and looked at the Sky. ‘Three hundred years ago, Earth nearly died,’ Rilla said. ‘Earth stopped dying because of the AOL. But now, over Europe, the AOL is breaking up. We would like you to talk to Earth Commander.’ Captain Seru did not move. ‘Do you remember Adai?’ she asked. She didn’t wait for an answer. ‘I was on his ship, two years ago. One evening, the satellite gave us interesting numbers about the AOL. We went back to Earth and saw Earth Commander.’ Captain Seru stopped speaking. Rilla looked at Kiah. ‘And then?’ she asked Captain Seru. ‘Gog was angry, very angry,’ Captain Seru said. ‘In the end, he sent Adai to the Moon. Adai’s there now, Commander of the Moon colony, under the Moon.” Kiah waited for a second or two. “I know about Adai. But we need to talk to Earth Commander again. These numbers are worse.’ Captain Seru’s face went red. “You don’t understand. I’m not going to talk to Gog. Last time, he sent me to a weather ship in the Antarctic! This is my first Ship for two years!’ And Captain Seru began drinking. Kiah stood up. ‘Thank you, Captain Seru.’ Captain Seru said nothing. 18 Under the Moon‘Do you remember Adai?’ Captain Seru asked.

The Ship was dark and quiet. It was eight o'clock and everybody was at dinner. “What are we going to do next?’ Rilla asked. ‘I need to talk to Adai,’ Kiah said. “OK, talk to Adai. But he’s far away on the Moon colony,’ Rilla said. ‘Let’s visit Commander Zadak.’ ‘Zadak? Commander of Australia? He’s famous!” “Yes. He’s my father’s friend. He worked with my father in Brazil ten years ago. Perhaps he can help us.” Kiah smiled. ‘Good! We return to Earth next week. I can phone Adai from Kisangani and then we can go to Australia. But now, I’m hungry! Let’s get some dinner.” 20 Under the Moon2 Visit to Australia On Friday, after three weeks in space, Kiah and Rilla finished work and left Ship OM — 45 on a space plane to Kisangani. Kiah phoned Adai and Rilla phoned Commander Zadak in Australia. The next morning they took an aeroplane to Sydney. A taxi took them from the airport to Commander Zadak’s office, some kilometres north of Sydney. ‘Wait for us here,’ Kiah said to the taxi driver. Kiah and Rilla walked to the gate. About ten guards stood in front of the gate. Across the road, a train waited. ‘Rilla, OM — 45’ Rilla said. ‘To see Commander Zadak at four-thirty.’ Kiah and Rilla took a space plane to Kisangani. space (n) am" finish (v) i work (n) 914 aeroplane (n) wfiosta Sydney (n) stated airport (7) sarin office (n) finym kilometre (n) flawien north (adv) mamita taxi driver (n) enutanourin’ gate (n) 1hvq guard (n) sain erraalaonite across (prep) thai train (n) solW Under the Moon 21call (v) lm began (p: 20: begin) Bu feel (v) Zan . thirsty (aq) meminiy came back (pt 109 come) nisl) sorry (acj) aalyny leave (v) anigiums minute (9) w17 get out (v) vant) sitting (p:es part wos eit) wis wall (n) tuna just then wisriuos came out (pt veo come) Wfwaanan blue eyes (n) mith a lot of (det) x1 white (ad) (H) vsan march (v) Win in front of (prep) thon behind (prep) thovda carried (pt 103 carry) fa there he is! maypiuls! cried (pt sos ery) Sas run along (v) Sahlenay road (nr) mn got in (pr wos get) usa move (v) \ndanyi jump in (v) melondinan drove (pt x01 drive) i fast (adv) ati down (prep) tunis ran after (pr soy run) Sale faster (adv) Sot ‘Let me call the Commander's office,’ the guard said.

The guard came back. ‘I’m sorry,’ he said. ‘The Commander can’t see you.” ‘But I talked to the Commander yesterday,’ Rilla said. ‘He wanted to see us at four-thirty.’ ‘The Commander is leaving on the train in three minutes,’ the guard said. ‘Can we wait and see him here?’ Kiah asked. ‘No!’ the guard shouted. ‘Get out of here!’ Kiah and Rilla walked back to the taxi. ‘Where’s the driver?’ Kiah asked. ‘Look! He’s sitting by that wall,’ Rilla said. Just then, Commander Zadak came out of the gate. He was a very tall, big man with blue eyes and a lot of white hair. Two guards marched in front of him, and two guards marched behind him. They all carried guns. ‘There he is!’ Rilla cried. ‘Commander!’ And she began to run along the road to him. Commander Zadak did not stop. A guard opened the door of the train and the Commander got in. Slowly, the train began to move. Kiah ran to the taxi and jumped in. Then he drove the taxi fast down the road. The taxi driver saw him and ran after him. The train began to move faster. Suddenly, Kiah drove the taxi off the road. He drove in front of the train and stopped. 22 Under the MoonThe train stopped, and some guards jumped off.

Two of the guards began to hit Kiah. “Stop that!” someone shouted. “Bring him over here!” It was Commander Zadak. Kiah stood in front of the Commander. Just then, Rilla arrived. “Oh, it’s you!” Commander Zadak said. He did not smile. ‘Rilla, your father’s going to be angry.” “We want to talk to you, Commander,’ Rilla said. ‘It’s very important.” “Very well. I’m listening.’ Kiah began to talk. ‘Two years ago, Adai told you about the holes in the AOL. Now they’re worse. The AOL is breaking up over Europe. Please look at these numbers and this satellite picture.’ He gave his book to Commander Zadak and the Commander looked at the numbers. ‘It’s important, Commander,’ Kiah said. ‘In ten years Earth is going to die.’ “You stopped my train because of this?” Commander Zadak asked. ‘Two years ago Adai talked to me about the AOL. Then he talked to Earth Commander, and what happened? Where is Adai now? Is the Moon colony helping the AOL?’ “We know about Adai, Commander,’ Rilla said. “But 24° Under the Moonsomeone needs to talk to Earth Commander again.’ ‘I'm going to talk to Gog about rain, I can tell you that. Earth needs rain: there was no rain last winter. Half of Australia has no water and my trees here are dying. Without rain, many people are going to die. Is Gog going to understand that? I don’t know!” Commander Zadak began to walk back to his train. ‘Move that taxi!’ he called to his guards. Some guards moved the taxi back to the road and then they jumped on to the train again. The train began to move. ‘OK,’ the taxi driver shouted. ‘What are you going to do next? Drive my taxi into the river?’ Kiah smiled. He took some money from his pocket and gave it to the taxi driver. The taxi driver looked at the money. ‘OK, OK,” he said. ‘Where now? Back to the airport?” Kiah took Rilla’s hand. ‘Yes,’ he said. “Let’s get back to Kisangani.

Suddenly, Commander Zadak came into the office and gave some letters to the man behind the table. He saw the two young people and stopped in front of them. “You again!’ he said. ‘What are you doing here?’ Kiah stood up. ‘Good morning, Commander. We’re here because we want to see Earth Commander.’ ‘I saw Earth Commander some minutes ago and talked to him about rain,’ Zadak said quietly. “But he didn’t listen. Your captain, Seru, was here earlier this morning and began to tell him about the holes in the AOL. But Gog doesn’t want to hear about our planet. He’s always talking about Mars. In the end, he’s going to destroy Earth.’ “Please help us!’ Rilla cried. “Come and see Gog with us!” “No.” Zadak looked at Kiah and then at Rilla with his blue eyes. ‘I’m not talking to Gog again. And you — Gog isn’t going to listen to you. Be careful — and good luck!’ Commander Zadak opened the door and left the office. Rilla looked at Kiah. ‘Earth Commander is a difficult man.

The guard went downstairs and opened one of the doors. There was nobody in the room. ‘Wait here,’ the guard said, and left. Kiah and Rilla sat down on the expensive green and black chairs and looked at the expensive flowers on the tables. There were no windows in this room. Suddenly, the door opened and a tall, fat woman came in. Her name was Bel, and she was Gog’s wife. She had a lot of long red hair and she wore an expensive blue dress. Bel liked expensive things. She carried a cat. The cat was black and white: half its face was black and half was white; half its body was black and half was white. “Why are you here? Why do you want to see Earth Commander?’ she asked. Rilla stood up. ‘How do you do?” she said. “We want to talk to Earth Commander about the AOL. We have new numbers from the satellite.” Bel’s face was red. ‘The AOL!

You?’ The cat jumped down and walked across the room. ‘How can you help? Why can’t you understand? Listen. Earth Commander is working on the spaceship for Mars. It’s difficult and expensive work.’ The cat jumped on to Rilla’s chair and looked at her with its yellow eyes. “Two years ago, Adai wanted more money for the AOL — and Earth Commander sent him to the colony under the Moon. Now you're talking about the AOL. Do you want to go to the Moon, too?” The door opened again and a different guard came in. ‘Excuse me. Earth Commander is ready now.’ Bel stood up. ‘You can see Earth Commander now,’ she said coldly. ‘But you’re going to be sorry!” The guard opened a different door, and Bel and the cat went into a beautiful room with expensive, very old tables and chairs. Rilla and Kiah went in behind them. There were no windows in the room, but a lot of pictures. There was Gog! The richest man on Earth; and the worst man on Earth. He was tall and fat, and without much hair. He sat behind a big table with a television, three computers and five telephones. He watched the television and didn’t look at Kiah or Rilla. Two guards with guns stood behind him and two more guards stood near the door. ‘Here they are!” Bel said. ‘They aren't friends, oh no! They want to talk about the AOL, of course. No one understands about Mars—’ 30 Under the MoonGog-the richest man on Under the Moon 31that's all right ‘pighits said (0 201 say) 4 quickly (adv) adhere look up (v) ie first (adv) rion cold (adj) um green (adi) saci? captain (0) fiuléts famous (adj) mais children (p! x09 ohita) in) planet (n) avieniat AOL tiowin Artificial Ozone Layer fulolmafion break up (v) usneients tonight (adv) éuit tomorrow (adv) wit angrily (adv) athalnss heard (pt 19 hear) Wi old (agi) su) story (n) Garin everyone (pron) anes here (adv) Fit nobody (7) en!laisheicy good (ad) Wonla be quite ‘in take sb/sth away wank! hear (v) Wo goodbye srriox prison (n) qn hole (n) 3 there (adv) fiw ‘That’s all right, that’s all right,’ Gog said quickly.

You want to help planet Earth, is that right?” He waited. The cat jumped on to his table and sat down in front of the television. “Yes, Commander,’ Kiah began. ‘The AOL is breaking up—’ ‘When? Tonight? Tomorrow?’ Gog said angrily. ‘I heard this old story two years ago, from Adai. Everyone comes here and wants money — money for the AOL, money for rain, money for the Moon colony. But I am Earth Commander, and you are nobody! I know about the AOL and the AOL is good for a hundred years!” ‘But the satellite—’ Kiah began again. ‘Be quiet!’ Gog cried. ‘I am Earth Commander! I’m not going to give money for the AOL! Or for rain! Or for the Moon!’ Gog looked at the guards near the door. ‘Take them — take them away. I don’t want to hear them.’ The guards moved behind Kiah and Rilla, and Bel began to laugh. ‘Goodbye!’ she said. ‘You're not going to the Moon, you're going to prison! You can talk about the holes in the AOL there!’ 32 Under the Moon= Forward Reload niversal Planet News 13.06.2522 NO RAIN! FORESTS ARE DYING! ‘The new forests in Europe, Asia and Africa are dying because there is no rain, The Commanders of Europe, Asia, America, Africa and Australia finished making the new forests ten years ago. The forests were very expensive. Commander Zadak, of Australia, was in Kisangani today. He talked to Earth Commander about rain. My tree are dying, he told us. The forests are important to all of us. Without water nothing can live. Many hundreds of years ago the old forests died. Now it is happening again. After the forests die, then people are going to die, too.

Suddenly, he heard the phone. ‘Commander?’ someone said, very quietly. ‘A man and a woman — from Ship OM-45 - in prison 888.’ The phone went dead. Zadak put the phone down, stood up, and left his room. Prison 888 was a big building without windows, near Gog’s house. There were a lot of guards at the gate, and some more guards marched past the building. All the guards carried guns. Commander Zadak walked across the road to the prison. ‘I want to visit someone. My name is Commander Zadak.” ‘I’m sorry, Commander,’ a guard said. “We can’t open the gate. Nobody can go in without a letter from Earth Commander.’ ‘That’s all right,’ Zadak said, and walked along the road, past the prison. A guard ran behind him. ‘Excuse me, Commander,’ he said quickly. ‘Please come back tonight. I can open the back gate at midnight. You can see the two people from Ship OM-45.’ Zadak looked at the guard. ‘Your captain’s going to kill you.’ 34 Under the MoonPrison 888 was a big building near Gog’s house.

At midnight there were four guards at the front gate of prison $88, and there was one guard at the back gate. The guard opened the gate and Zadak went in. The guard said nothing. They walked downstairs into a big room. A lot of prisoners slept on the floor because there were no beds or chairs. Kiah and Rilla sat on the floor near the door. “You can talk for five minutes,’ the guard said quietly. ‘The next guard arrives at 12.15.’ Kiah and Rilla stood up. ‘Good evening, Commander,’ they said. Zadak looked at the prisoners. ‘Why are all these people here?’ he said to Kiah and Rilla. ‘They’re in prison because Gog doesn’t like them. I talk to Gog about rain, I talk to him about the AOL, but he never listens. Today, someone told me about some fires in the new forest here in Africa; but Gog doesn’t want to hear about those fires.’ Zadak laughed angrily. “And he doesn’t want to hear about my trees in Australia. He never listens to me. He’s always thinking about Mars, not about our beautiful planet Earth.’ 36 Under the Moon‘Gog never listens,’ Zadak said angrily. Kiah listened carefully. “Take it easy, Commander,’ he said quietly. “Please talk to Adai. Adai wants to help. He can come back from the Moon and help you.’ ‘No,’ Zadak said. ‘I phoned Adai this afternoon. | He’s a good man and he wants to help. But I don’t need help. I’m going to stop Gog — I’m going to kill him.’ Kiah closed his eyes for a minute. ‘Gog’s guards have guns. They can kill you, Commander,’ he said. ‘You need more people to help. Wait for Adai.

Let’s go,’ Zadak said to the guard. He looked at Rilla and then at Kiah. His eyes were very blue. ‘Goodbye,’ he said. ‘Goodbye, Commander,’ Kiah said. “Be careful!’ Rilla cried. ‘And good luck!’ Early that morning, Earth Commander’s house was quiet. A guard opened the door. ‘Good morning, Commander Zadak,” he said. ‘Earth Commander isn’t in his office.” ‘That’s all right,” Zadak said. ‘I can wait.’ Zadak went upstairs and waited. At eight o’clock Bel came into the room. ‘Good morning, Commander,’ she said. ‘You're early this morning. Are you happier today? Earth Commander was very angry with you yesterday. Don’t begin talking about rain or the AOL today.’ Zadak smiled, but his blue eyes were cold. ‘No,’ he said. ‘I’m not going to talk about rain today.’ Just then, Gog came into the room. He looked at Zadak. “What's wrong? Why are you here at eight o’clock in the morning?’ Zadak took his gun from his pocket.

She gave a cry and fell to the floor. Her hair looked very red on the black floor. ‘No!’ Gog cried. ‘You shot Bel!’ Three guards ran into the room with their big guns and stood in front of Gog. ‘Kill him!’ Gog shouted, and began to help Bel. Zadak looked at the guards and then at Bel and Gog. Kiah was right: he was going to die. ‘I'm sorry, Kiah. I'm sorry, Adai,’ he said quietly. The guards shot Zadak.

Gog watched Rilla carefully. ‘Zadak is dead.” ‘No!’ Rilla cried. ‘He is dead,’ Gog said again. ‘You lost your friend, here in this building, early this morning. My guards shot him.’ Rilla’s face went white. ‘What happened? Tell me!’ ‘I’m going to tell you one thing,’ Gog said angrily. ‘I’m going to destroy Australia. I’m going to burn Zadak’s new forest there. You can tell all your friends! Zadak wanted to kill me, but I killed him. He wanted money for rain, money for the AOL, and now he’s dead.

Why is Gog angry?’ The guards said nothing. But after they returned to the gate of 888, a guard said to Rilla, very quietly: ‘Bel is dead. Zadak didn’t shoot Gog, but he shot Bel, before the guards shot him.” A guard took Rilla into the prison, and soon she was with Kiah again. ‘What happened?’ Kiah asked. ‘Tell me.’ Rilla put her hands over her face and began to cry. *Zadak is dead,’ she began. ‘He didn’t kill Gog. He killed Bel before the guards shot him, and now Gog is going to destroy Australia.” Kiah sat down on the floor next to Rilla. His face was sad. ‘Don’t cry,’ he said quietly. Three or four prisoners came across the room. “What’s the matter?’ they asked. ‘Zadak is dead,’ Kiah said. “But Bel is dead, too.” ‘What's going to happen next?’ someone asked. But nobody answered. The next afternoon, Captain Seru’s brother took Kiah and Rilla to a little room at the back of the prison. 44 Under the MoonThey sat down, and five minutes later Captain Seru arrived. Nobody smiled. “You were right, Captain,’ Kiah said. “Gog sent us to prison because we told him about the holes in the AOL.” Seru smiled. “You were right, Kiah,’ she said. ‘Those satellite numbers were very bad. I began to tell Gog, but he didn’t listen to me.’ ‘Would you like some coffee? And some sandwiches?’ Seru’s brother asked. “Yes, please,’ Seru said. ‘I’m hungry.’ She looked Kiah and Rilla. ‘Things are very bad.’ ‘What's happening?’ Rilla asked. “You know about Zadak? And Bel?’ “Yes. Gog told Rilla yesterday,’ Kiah said. al Seru smiled, but her eyes were not happy. “Gog talked to me this morning,’ she said. Her brother came in with the coffee and sandwiches and Seru began to eat. ‘Gog wants to know about Zadak, and about you,’ she said. “He’s going to kill us all, I think, before he goes to Mars.’ Suddenly, Rilla felt ill. ‘I can’t eat now!’ she cried. But she took some coffee and began to drink. ‘Let's get out of here,’ she said. ‘Perhaps we can get a plane to Brazil and go to my family.’ ‘Difficult,’ Seru said. ‘Last night fires began in the new forest in Europe, and they’re moving across Europe.

You never stop talking about Adai. What can he do?’ Rilla said. She felt angry. Seru looked at Rilla for a minute. ‘Yes, I phoned Adai before I came here. I told him about Zadak and Bel, and about the fires. He asked about you, Kiah. He can’t come down at Kisangani airport because Gog is there with a lot of his guards. Ship MARS 4 is nearly ready and Gog is watching it. He wants to leave Earth tomorrow.’ “How can Adai help us?’ Rilla asked. ‘He can’t shoot all the guards here.” Captain Seru finished the last sandwich. ‘Let’s leave that to Adai,’ she said. ‘We can do nothing.” ‘Are you going to stay here?’ Kiah asked. ‘Yes,’ Seru answered. ‘Adai is coming to the prison after he arrives on Earth.” ‘Oh yes?’ Rilla said tiredly. ‘But when? Gog can kill us before Adai comes.’ ‘No, he can’t,’ Seru’s brother said. ‘You can stay here, in this room. Gog’s guards are all afraid — afraid of the fires, afraid of the people.

And waited. Rilla slept in her chair. Kiah and Seru talked quietly. Seru’s brother came and went. Most of the prison guards ran away, with the prisoners. Seven or eight people — some prisoners and some guards — didn’t want to run away, so they came into the room and waited, too. Ten o'clock came, then eleven o'clock. It was very quiet. Seru walked up and down the room. Kiah sat next to Rilla. Seru’s brother came into the room again. ‘It’s after midnight,’ he said. Just then, they heard the noise of a plane. Kiah stood up. ‘Come on,’ he said. ‘Let's get out of the building.” Quietly, they left the building. It was a dark, hot night. There were no guards in front of the prison, so they went to the gate and waited there. Suddenly, they saw the plane. It was a little plane, and it came down on the road in front of the prison. Rilla took Kiah’s hand. ‘You were right,’ she said. ‘I’m sorry.’ Kiah smiled. He began to feel happy. ‘That's all right. I understand. I know Adai very well, and you don’t.” The plane stopped and someone opened the door. Kiah ran across to the plane. ‘How many can you take?’ he called. ‘There are 48 Under the MoonSuddenly, they saw the plane.

Rilla looked at the captain of the plane. He was tall, with brown hair. He looked nice. Was this the famous Commander Adai? ‘Where is the spaceship?’ Kiah asked. ‘At the old airport,’ Adai said. ‘One of the fires is moving very quickly across the new forest. It’s going to arrive at the west of Kisangani before tomorrow, I think. But the old airport is OK.’ Then Commander Adai looked at Kiah and smiled warmly. ‘My brother,’ he said. ‘My little brother, in prison 888!’ “Your brother? Commander Adai?’ Rilla asked. “But you didn’t tell me that!” Kiah smiled. ‘Nobody knew,’ he said. ‘But now ~ it doesn’t matter now. Everyone can know.’ The little plane came down at the old airport, south of the town. ‘Let’s be careful,’ Adai said. ‘We don’t want someone to shoot us before we leave.” The spaceship was dark. Quickly, everyone jumped down from the plane and ran across to the spaceship. Soon, the spaceship left Earth, and everyone looked down at the burning planet. They saw the dark smoke over Africa, and, here and there, through the smoke, 50 Under the Moonthe red (n) wis angry fire (n) WiauFauuss destroy (v) Wait! forest (n) 1h said (pt 109 say) Wr put one’s hand on one’s arm aeiiaumun sorry (adj) aula want (v) fies wait (v) 72 talk (v) 9 sad (adj) 3) die (v) en dead (adi) me Mars (n) arava crazy (adj) th ready (adj) wiax people (pi) sys) moon colony (1) anowtinawnasturd need (v) fiasms money (9) Gu ask for (v) 12 because of (prep) wwe spaceship (7) maaan sadly (adv) ati felt (pt 203 feo!) $n tired (ad) oitne afraid (adj) nia best (aa) aviqa home (n) tina beautiful (aq)) «aus wonderful (20)) iiens country (n) fit building (7) mention first (adj) usn visit (v) idan bring (v) ¥ the red, angry fires. ‘The fires are destroying the forest very quickly,’ Seru said.

And now he’s dead.’ ‘And Gog is going to Mars,’ Seru said. ‘Mars? He’s crazy!

But Gog didn’t listen; he wanted all Earth’s money for the spaceship to Mars.’ ‘I don’t want to leave Earth,’ Rilla said sadly. She felt tired and afraid. Adai smiled warmly at Rilla. ‘Nobody wants to leave Earth,’ he said. ‘But under the Moon is the best home for us now. Wait and see. The Moon colony is a beautiful, wonderful country, with rivers and rain, forests and flowers, buildings — and the first town. You can visit Earth again soon, and bring more people to the Moon colony. We all want to help Earth, because 52 Under the Moonit’s our first home. I know that.
