The First Day

" Last stop, " the pilot said. " Space patrol base! "

Ringo grabbed his bag. He sneezed. " Ah-choo! " " Ugh. space dust! " Ringo thought.

Today was Ringo's first day of Space Patrol. “ I'm finally a rookie! ” Ringo said. He looked around the base. “ Where’s Captain Nova’s office?”

Bang! A tall rookie crashed into Ringo. " Watch it, Tiny! " she snapped. " Sorry, " Ringo said. " I'm looking for Captain Nova. "

The rookie blinked. " You're a rookie too?" Ringo nodded. She laughed loudly. " My planet has bugs bigger than you! "

" Bye, Tiny. " The rookie ran off. " See you in Captain Nova's office! " Ringo ran after her. But it was hard to keep up.
