Context: The Day I Met An Alien

Level of Difficulty: 1-Lower, 2-Medium

The day I met an alien

It was a sunny day. I was kicking a pebble around while walking along the
pavement on my way to school. Somehow, or rather, my pebble slammed into
someone elses green foot.

Ouch! a screech voice exclaimed, and continued, That hurts! confused

and feeling guilty, I mumbled word of apology and was about to run away when I
stopped. A green foot? Now, humans do not go running about with green feet.
Even a three-year-old kid knows the colour humans feet. Moreover, I am sure
that it was a bare human foot. Or I was wrong and it was something that
resembles a human foot?

I looked up immediately to find a green thing standing right in front of me,

smiling while I stared at him open-mouthed with my eyes almost popping out of
their sockets. It resembled a human being but it had a head almost one and-a-half
times bigger than ours. Its eyes were very big beneath an enormous pair of thick
eyebrows and broad mouth with thick lips. Its ears are big and pointed upwards.
It had a unique T-shirt with spikes and a pair of long pants. I did not expect it to
appear in front of me. I was shocked and almost fainted.
