Monty Martian loved Earth.   In fact, he 

loved it so much that he often went on short 

day trips to Earth without telling his friends 

and family.

 Monty wanted to share his adventures 

with his family but worried that 

everyone would tell him to be sensible 

and keep his feet on red Martian soil.

But Monty liked Earth's soil, 

and he quite liked the trees 

and creatures too!

Sooner or later, Monty knew that he 

would have to tell his family about his 

Earth adventures.   In fact, it looked like 

he would need to tell them sooner, not 

later!

Monty realized that he had a lot of explaining to 

do. It was the thirty-second time this year he 

had been late for dinner.  

Monty spoke of strange and wonderful things!   He 

spoke of tall leafy umbrellas growing out of the 

ground.

He spoke of weird and wonderful creatures, big and 

small, green and not green.   You see, anything that 

isn't green to Martians is very exotic, indeed!

As Monty recounted his fascinating 

travels to his wife and kids, the 

shimmering blue glow that usually 

wraps itself around Earth slowly took 

on a reddish hue.  

Something very serious

was happening to Earth.

Monty had a very bad feeling.   He and 

his quick-thinking chameleon companion 

jetted off to the edge of Mars in his 

handy hovercraft to get a closer look at 

the reddish glow that was enveloping 

Earth.

Even the quick-thinking chameleon was 

considerably concerned.

Meanwhile on Earth, an invasion was happening!  

In a once jubilant and joyful jungle, enormous 

mechanical monsters were beginning to destroy 

the homes and hideaways of some of Monty's 

new friends!

For many years, Monty had observed two-

legged Earth creatures in primitive looking 

vehicles, crushing, flattening and destroying 

the magnificent monuments of Earth's green 

forests.

Monty could not understand why anyone would 

want to destroy such beauty.   He only wished 

that Mars was half as beautiful as Earth!

Monty needed to act fast!   Trading his hovercraft 

for a spaceship, Monty and the chameleon began 

their countdown to Earth.   Monty couldn't wait 

another 24 hours 39 minutes and 35 seconds 

(that's a Martian day!).   He knew he had to leave 

now if he wanted

to save this beautiful

blue planet from certain

disaster!

Slower than usual, the Martian spaceship 

journeyed toward Earth on its familiar path.  

Monty could not figure out what was weighing the 

ship down and causing it to move so slowly.   Can 

you?

The Martian spaceship hovered quietly over a 

grove of palm trees.   The mighty machines were 

creating havoc on the ground and there was panic 

in the air!

Well, there was more than panic in the air.   It 

appeared that once again, Monty was carrying a 

couple of uninvited travellers on board his ship.

This time, it was 

his own children:

Marty and Meg!
