The story of Ramiro

This is the story of Ramiro. Ramiro is an old pensioner, he is seventy years old. Every morning, at six o'clock a.m, Ramiro wakes up goes out have a walk on the mountain. Since he was sixty years old he has been sick and the doctor suggested that he should walk very morning. So he walks tour kilometres every day, comes near the river, crosses the olive trees field and goes to the kitchen, drinks a glass of orange juice, puts his trainers on and next goes out.

Everything Emilio did the same routine but one day, while he was looking at the countryside, he saw a machine in front of one tree. He thought that it was an object of the electricity company so he continued his walk, went to river, drank water and returned.

When he walked near the tree he noticed that the machine was moving. He was quiet and saw that three martians were going out of the machine. The martians were little, with big eyes and with similar to humans. They saw Ramiro and then caught some olives, one of them went near him and took his hand. Next they returned to the machine, one of the martians pressed one button and the machine disappeared in the sky.

Ramiro was afraid, he returned very fast to his house and he explained the story to his wife, but his wife didn't believe him. The strange thing was that Ramiro didn't get ill ever again for the rest of his life.
