Well, I think we are!)
Then the very nice alien went down to Earth. He arrived in a park near a school, but he didn’t know what a school was, because he has not got a school on his planet. So, he went to explore. He made himself invisible, so he wouldn’t scare anybody. He opened the door and went in.
