THE BOOK THAT SAVED THE EARTH

SUMMARY

The story begins with a stage show of twenty fifth century in which a
historian is sitting in the museum and she explains the truth about the
Martian invasion that happened in twentieth century. To prove her
statement she asks the audience to look into the historiscope, a device
that can show things happened in the history. In the next scene, two

characters are shown- one of them has a balloon brain and is shown as
the master. His name is Think Tank and another one is his assistant
Noodle. Both of them are discussing about their plan to invade earth.
They think that earth is a ridiculous plan and they should invade earth
so as to establish their rule over the planet. So, the master Think Tank
sends his crew members to inspect earth. The crew members land into
a library and look confused as they know nothing about the items

(books) of the library. So, they consult it with their master Think
Tank whom they think is very intelligent. He asks them to show the
item and tells them that they are sandwiches, a staple diet of the
earthlings. He commands his crew to eat it, which they then consider
as a tasteless eatable. His assistant Noodle corrects him and tells him
that they are the communication devices. He on hearing this, asks his

crew to listen to the information from the devices. They try to hear it
but they get nothing to hear from them. Once again Noodle corrects
his master Think Tank that they are to be read and not hear. So with
the help of the vitamins provided by the chemical department of
Mars, the crew tries to read the book. It was a book of rhymes. There
they come across a rhyme on Humpty dumpty which resembles their
master Think Tank. They all get terrified with the idea of their master

losing control over Mars because of humans and cancel their plan of
invading Earth.
