1)Spanner is bored
It was quiet morning at stardust space
Station. Captain
Stella was checking
the space n Comet was
watering the
plants and Spanner the robot was bored.
‘
Can I sit at
the control desk?
’
He asked.
‘
All
right
’
,
said
Captain
Comet,
‘
but
don
’
t
touch
anything
and don
’
t press
that red button.
’
Spanner sat
down
at
the
desk and
looked at
all the buttons.
There were
buttons
to open
all
the
space station
doors
and
buttons
to turn on all the was even a button to
flush
all
the
toilets!There
was also
a
big
red
button,
labeled
Gravity.
Spanner was not sure what ____ was.
‘
I
’
ll
press
it
very
quickly
’
,
said
spanner,
‘
to
see
what
it
does.
’
He pressed the red
button.
Captain Comet
was
watering
the
plants
when
he
had
a
strange
was floating above the floor ,the
plants all
floating, guessed what had
happened.
‘
Spanner!
’
He
shouted,
‘
I
told you
not
to touch that
red
button!
’
There
was
no
gravity
in
space,
so
the
space
station
made
its
own.
Spanner
pressed
the
red
button
to
make
the
gravity
cone
back
on again,and all the
pot plants fell to the floor.
‘
Spanner!
’
Co
met groaned.
2) It must be
a planet
Spanner was cleaning up the
mess for the rest of the
he turned the
cleaner off, everyone heard a
beeping
noise. The noise was coming from the space
ne
stopped
what
they
were
doing
and
came
to
look.
‘
The
scanner has found
something
’
, said Comet.
‘
He pointed to a found
something
’
, said Comet.
‘
He pointed to
a
flashing,
dot
that
was
moving
across
the
screen.I wonder what it
is?
’
Said Captain Stella.
‘
Is it an
asteroid?
’
Asked
spanner.
‘
An
asteroid?
’
Asked
Spanner.
‘
An
asteroid
is
a
lump of
rock
that
floats
in
space.
’
‘
I know
that!
’
Said captain
Comet.
‘
Anyway,
it
’
s too big
to
be an asteroid.
’
Then it must be a planet, spanner said.
‘
Where
has
it
come
from?
’
Asked
Comet.
‘
And
why
is
it
moving
so
fast?
’
‘
You
’
d
better go
and have a look
’
,
said Captain Stella.
Comet and Spanner
set off in the space shuttle to look for
the new planet. Spanner was very
excited.
‘
I
’
ve
never found a new planet
before
’
, he said.
‘
What
shall we
call it?
’
‘
Let
’
s
find it first
’
, said Comet.
But
Spanner
wasn
’
t
listening.
‘
I
’
m
going
to
call
it
Planet
Spanner
’
, he
said.
Spanner made a humming noise and
a flag came out of a slot
in his chest.
‘
What are you
doing?
’
asked Comet.
‘
I
’
ve
made
a
flag
to
put
on
planet

Then
everyone
will
know
that
we
were
the
first
to
find
it
’
,
Spanner
explained.
He
showed
Comet
the flag.
It
was
bright
red
with
two
spanners
on
it.
Comet had to smile.
‘
Very
nice
’
, he said.

The
planet
looked very
strange.
It
was
purple and
covered in
huge spikes. Comet landed the shuttle
carefully on the

got
out
to have
a
look
