Space Chimps Written by Samuel

A long time ago there lived space monkeys who were training to go and help some aliens from planet Uz.The space monkeys were swapped to be chimps because chimpanzees were cleverer than monkeys.The space chimps worked for a company called Nasa.

One day the space chimps completed their training so the astronaut told them in chimp language that they had to be back in 24 hrs. A sap,said the astronaut and pronto.

Later on they started the countdown 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 “blast off’’shh’’.The space ship took off in such a hurry like the super hero called Flash.

Suddenly, they were in space. It took the space chimps 4000

000 billion kilometres to get to planet Uz. When the space chimps reached planet Uz they saw many beautiful fruits and

friendly aliens but there was one horrible horrendous ugly mean

bad alien who made everyone feel unsafe.

Eventually they saw that the bad alien was freezing the other

aliens who were good.The space chimps gathered together and

made a plan of how to capture the bad alien.

After talking about their plan they captured the bad alien and

put him in the freezing water and froze him for ever.And after

that the good aliens lived happily ever after on planet Uz.

And after that the space chimps lived happily ever after.THE END.

This information report will discuss about Military dolphins.

Military dolphins are dolphins that are trained by the US Navy,Marine and Military, about 75,000 dolphins are in the program.This is because the military dolphins are used for the Iraq wars.

A military dolphin looks a dolphin that has bombs,guns and underwater rocket launchers.
