The Heart Man

by Rob, Paul, Becky & Jamie (1976, 2nd Grade, as told to KC)


Once there was a Heart Man. He drew hearts. When he drew hearts, he folded them. When he folded them, he turned all different colors. He had triangle glasses and sharp teeth. He wore a garbage can on his head. He had a pair of brown pants with a lots of hearts on them.

One day Heart Man broke his knee. The doctor said, "You have to wear a heart cast." Then Heart Man jumped home. He fell on his head and almost had a broken heart head.

Then there was a knock on the door. There was a monster from outer space shaped like a rectangle. The monster had a woman riding on his back. The monster asked Heart Man to take care of him because outer space people don't have money. If he didn't, he would ZAP him. Heart Man began to cry because he had no money.

So the monster took Heart Man with him to outer space.

They went up really high in the space ship. Heart Man turned different colors because he was so afraid. He cried red, white and blue tears. The monster made him some alphabet soup. It made funny sounds and Heart Man started to laugh.

Then they landed on Mars. On Mars they found a building with a round top that was 3 miles tall. A giant ant walked out and ate Heart Man.

Heart Man tasted so bad that the giant ant spit him out. Then the rectangle monster ZAPPED the giant ant and killed him. The woman on his back laughed so hard that she turned purple.

Then a little Martian came up to the rectangle monster and asked, "Where did you get that Heart Man?"

"I found him on Earth," said the monster.

The Martian said, "I want him."

The woman on the monster's back said, "Let's go to my house and drink Martian tea!" The Martian tea tasted so bad that he got the hiccups and he turned green.

Then Heart Man saw a Heart Woman walk into the room and they fell in love. Then they kissed. The monster and the woman kissed too.

Heart Man and Heart Woman got married in Heart City, Mars.
