If I Ever Go to the Moon ...

Suddenly he finds himself in a spacesuit and helmet sitting at the controls of a spaceship heading for the moon. As his ship zooms through space he marvels at the stars and planets. Soon hes approaching the moon and its time for a landing. After he lands his ship he ventures outside of the craft and walks on the moons surface. He cant believe his eyes as he takes in the moons incredible landscape. And he cant help but notice the utter peace and quiet. But after a while it dawns on him that its a bit too peaceful---too quiet. Soon he realizes the landscape isnt so great either---nothing but rocks and dust. Before he knows it hes ready to go back to earth where its not nearly so lonely and desolate. He wakes from his daydream still sitting at his desk in his classroom. The teacher is waiting for him to complete the sentence. But his reply shocks the teacher and the other classmates. And how he completes that sentence may shock you too!
