Leo looked out the window at night. He saw a blue light in the yard.
The light was small and bright. It sat on the soft green grass.
Leo went outside to see the light. He found a tiny ball of fur.
The ball had three big green eyes. It had four small blue hands.
"Hello," said Leo with a big smile. The alien made a sweet beep sound.
It looked like a soft purple grape. Leo named his new friend Pip.
Pip was very hungry and very tired. Leo went inside to get a snack.
He brought out a box of crackers. Pip liked the salty round crackers.
Pip ate five crackers very fast. He made a funny sound like a bell.
Then Pip danced on his tiny feet. Leo laughed and clapped his hands.
Pip and Leo played with a red ball. They ran fast across the grass.
Pip could jump very high in the air. He felt happy to have a friend.
The ball rolled under a big bush. Pip used his light to find it.
His tail glowed like a yellow star. They played until the moon was high.
The sky turned a dark blue color. A big ship came down from the sky.
It made a hum like a happy bee. Pip looked at the ship and smiled.
Pip gave Leo a big, warm hug. He pointed his finger at the moon.
Then Pip went inside the silver ship. The ship flew up into the stars.
Leo waved his hand until it was gone. He looked up at the night sky.
He knew Pip was safe at home. Leo would always remember his cute friend.
He went back inside his warm house. He went to sleep with a smile.
Leo dreamed of stars and purple fur. It was a very good night.
