Just then a large, yellow double-decker bus came along the High Street. It stopped at the bus stop and lots of people got on.
"What is it?" asked Zogol.
"That's a bus," said Alan.
"What's it for?"
"It's for people to travel on."
"Travel? Why don't they fly or teletransport?"
"We can't do that on Earth."
"I will teach you. Take my hand."
Alan took hold of Zogol's hand. He felt his fingers tingling and getting warm.
Then suddenly they were off. They flew into the air vertically!
"Wow," cried Alan. "This is fantastic!"
"I can see everything from here...my house, my school, the park..."
They came down slowly and landed in Alan's garden.
Alan still felt a bit dizzy and his legs were wobbly so he sat down on the grass. Alan's dog Spot ran into the garden.
"Oh, hello Spot," said Alan. "This is my friend Zogol."
Alan looked round. Zogol was nowhere to be seen! And then he saw him...in a tree!
"What are you doing up there?"
"That monster…. What is it?"
"Oh, this is just Spot, my dog. Don't worry, he won't hurt you. He's very friendly."
Zogol climbed down from the tree.
"Dog hmm," he muttered. "No dogs on Pegasi 5."
