“Let’s go look at your ship. I can hardly
wait to see it!” said the Captain.
“It’s right over here in this hanger. We
built it with the ship’s robots,” I told him.
“This sure is a lot nicer than the one I
flew. They have come a long way since
then,” said the Captain with a small tear in
his eye.
He loved spaceships and couldn’t wait to
fly in this one.
“We have one small problem. We are out
of fuel. Even if we had some, we don’t
know which direction home is,” I said
sadly.
“Well, I think this is our lucky day,” said
the Captain. “I know how to get home. I
just didn’t have a ship.
”What about the fuel?” I asked.

We tried for weeks to make fuel for
the ship in our laboratory, but
nothing worked. One morning while I
was working in the lab with the
Captain Bizby was zipping around,
singing and generally making a
nuisance of him self. Suddenly an
idea hit him.
“Why not use the powerplants to run
the ship?” suggested Bizby.
“I think we’ll need a pretty long
cord,” laughed the Captain.
“Not if we take them with us,” said
Bizby.
“I don’t know if they would care for a
ride in space. They have been
anchored here for over a thousand
years,” said the Captain with a
worried look. “Let’s go see what they
think.”

We went over to the pond where
the powerplants lived and asked
them what they thought of the
idea. They could hardly contain
their excitement.
“We have always wondered what
it would be like to see the stars,”
said Mrs. Sunland.

“You mean Mrs. Sunland, our
teacher?” asked Rosy with
surprise.
“Yes, but we are getting a little
ahead of ourselves, “ said
Grandpa, as all the kids looked at
each other in amazement.
Everyone loved Mrs. Sunland.

As preparations were being made for the
journey, more and more of the villagers
wanted to go. First, they needed to test the
ship. After all, it had been sitting for almost
three years and collected a lot of dust. The
ship was big enough to fit everyone, even the
Wheelrights. No one on our planet had ever
heard of powerplants, wheelrights, or little
squirts. I couldn’t wait to see the looks on
their faces when we brought this bunch of
characters home.
At two years old, even Rosy’s dad knew
something special was about to happen.
The ship was brought out into the open.
Everyone worked so hard to clean all the dust
away. Soon the big blue ship, whose nickname
was Betsy, was spic and span. She was named
Betsy because everyone used to “bet” and
“see” how fast she could make a round trip.
