Grounded to Earth

Zorb desperately wanted to take over Earth. " We have blasters! " Zorb screamed, jumping up and down. " Take a deep breath and count to ten, " his mother said, calmly. " You need to leave Earth alone. " We have spaceships and robots, though, " Zorb whined.

" How many times do we have to discuss this?" his father asked. " ]ust because we are more powerful, it doesn't mean we should take over a planet. " Zorb leaped past his parents and grabbed the spaceship's controls. He turned the ship and raced at full speed toward Earth. " Earth is mine! " Zorb yelled.

“ Son, " his father said, " you need to learn a lesson about the humans. " Before Zorb could speak, his father pushed a large red button. Zorb was instantly teleported to a park on Earth. He blinked his eyes open and saw a group of children playing kickball. " I am Zorb, the ruler of Earth! " Zorb said. He waited for the children to kneel and salute him.

The kids stopped their game, took one look at Zorb, and exploded with laughter. " You're just a little kid, " a boy said, Zorb looked down and inspected himself. He was inside a suit that made him look like an ordinary kid.

" I have blasters! " Zorb shouted. The kids returned to their game. “ I'm more powerful than all of you! " Zorb yelled. The kids ignored what he was saying.
