Thankful

It landed upon earth. With alien sensors it surveyed its surroundings. For a moment it paused, as if detecting something on the side of the mountain. With a disappointed hiss it turned its attention to the forest in the foothills. Scanning slowly it absorbed as much information as it possibly could.

With obvious disappointment it gave a shrilled cry and took flight, quickly disappearing into the starry sky. Let every man be thankful he was not there. Let every man be very thankful.
