Mining the unknown| Story by Utpal, 12, Bangalore
12-year-old Utpal from Bangalore shares an exciting story about two friends encountering something strange. Read on to find out more.
It was a beautiful day.
Best friends Utpal and Advik were playing cricket when they suddenly saw a huge ball of fire heading their way. Intrigued, they went closer to realize that it was an alien ship that had crashed.
They couldn’t believe it was made of gold, diamonds, and gemstones. They had an idea! What if they got a pickaxe and mined them? Both of them agreed, so they got a pickaxe and started breaking the gemstones.
To their surprise, the pickaxe morphed them into superhumans. The friends felt strange and decided to head back home. Finally, Utpal’s brother saw it all and decided to come out of his hiding place, saying, “Happy April Fools’ Day, Bros.”
What a fun day it was!
