Once upon a time, there was an alien named Zorb who lived in a spaceship that could soar through the galaxy. One day, while visiting Earth, Zorb accidentally landed on a strange continent where everything was very different from what he was used to.

He soon discovered that the faucets on Earth didn't work like the ones in his spaceship and instead of a steady stream of water, they just dribbled out a tiny bit at a time. This was quite a horror for Zorb who was used to having unlimited access to water.

In search of help, Zorb met a refugee named Tim who had escaped from a faraway planet. Tim offered to exchange some of his knowledge about Earth for a ride back to his home planet.

Zorb agreed, and Tim taught him all about the different customs and experiences on Earth. They even gave a presentation about their adventures to a group of curious kids.

In the end, Zorb learned to appreciate the unique qualities of Earth and made many new friends. He promised to return one day and share more of his exciting extraterrestrial experiences. The end.

2. Who does Zorb meet on Earth and what do they offer to help?
3. What does Zorb learn about Earth by the end of the story?
4. How did Zorb and Tim's presentation go and what was the audience's reaction?
5. Can you think of any other adventures Zorb might have in the future?
