Greetings Earthling Students in Mrs. Orr’s and Ms. Hartshorn’s Room,

We are from the planet TRID. We have been watching you very closely and have seen you reading, writing, studying, and asking questions. We have determined that you have all the scientific skills we have been looking for. Our planet is in deep danger, and we need your help. We are running out of all the things we need to live. We will be beaming down to your planet. Please meet with us and help us solve the problem that is threatening our planet’s future. May the forest be with you.
