Wow, did I let this one go to naught or what? How long ago did I post the first story? December?! Anyway, I am now going to post a short Aesop Fable for you to read while I write the longer Hansel and Gretel story that I wrote the rough draft for months ago.


Disclaimer: I don't own Zim, as you already know. And I don't own The Boy Who Cried Wolf, as previously stated it is an Aesop Fable and belongs to whoever owns them.

The Boy Who Cried "Wolf!"
~or~
The Dib Who Cried "Alien!"




(The scene opens on the roof of Dib's house. He is sitting there watching a radar on his laptop.)


NARRATOR: There was once a scientist's young son who kept searching the skies on top of the roof of his house. Once, he thought he saw an alien and jumped from the roof of his house (Dib points to something on the computer screen, sets it down, then jumps off the roof). So he ran into the streets of the city crying out, with all his might:


DIB: (Running into the city and screaming at the top of his lungs,) Alien! Alien! Come and see! The aliens are coming!


NARRATOR: The city people began to run around in circles, screaming that the world would be destroyed. NASA PLACE searched the skies looking for the alleged alien spaceship. But, no matter how hard they looked, there were no aliens to be seen.
Another day, not too long after, Dib ran into town screaming the same things. The city people again ran amock, but NASA PLACE proved Dib wrong again.


DIB: But I swear it was a real alien! It had a horrible, cylindar ship!


NASA PLACE MAN: (Spilling coffee all over himself) Whatever, kid. No one believes you anymore. You're foolish tricks and fake alien sightings are no laughing matter. Your jokes just aren't funny to the public.


DIB: It was a real alien!


NASA PLACE MAN: (Spilling even more down his shirt) You're one sick person if you think this is funny! Wait, you'd have to be more than sick. YOU'RE INSANE!


NARRATOR: Then one day, an alien landed on Earth not too far away from Dib's house. In great fright, Dib left for help. Running again through the city streets, he cried:


DIB: Alien! Alien! There is an alien that goes to my skool!


CITY PERSON: There's that crazy alien kid again....


NARRATOR: The city people heard him, but they thought it was another joke to make them think the world was coming to an end. So no one paid the least attention, or went near him. In the end, Dib had to fight the alien all by himself.


NASA PLACE MAN: (Spilling more coffee than is in his cup on the floor as he thinks) Uh.... I'm supposed to be telling you that the moral of the story is that if you don't tell the truth the first time, everyone will think you're insane the next. However, since they cut the funding, I'm not even allowed to read those words.

There you have it. I had fun writing it, even though it make little sense. Anyway, Hansel and Gretel shall be up very soon.
