My Alien Cousin

by Venus Chaudhry aged 10

My cousin Tara doesn’t look how she used to
Her eyes are green and she eats this alien mixture
that doesn’t have milk, eggs or anything that comes from an animal
not even chicken nuggets! Everyone likes chicken nuggets!

My cousin has been stolen by aliens and they sent one down to pretend to be her!
That’s why there is alien food and weird green patterned eyes!

Tara came up to my bedroom today and told me that she isn’t an alien she’s just a vegan.
If that type of alien thinks it’s going to fool me pretending that a vegan is a type of human it’s wrong
because I’m smarter than I look.

I went to Tara’s room today and accused her of being an alien and then I got the surprise of my life!
Turns out that the eyes were something called contact lenses and a vegan is someone who doesn’t eat meat.
Well that answers a lot but then. . . why doesn’t she like to eat meat or things that come from animals?

ALIEN!
