It was a sunny day in Swaziland, Africa. By three o'clock the airplane had landed and Donny was sweating because there was no air conditioner in the airport. He was disconcerted by how small and crappy it was. He couldn’t find his luggage with all of his belongings, after a few hours of not receiving any sort of aid from security, he realized he was not in Switzerland, where he intended to be, but in Africa. He tried to speak with someone to take him where he was being expected but he couldn’t get into any plane soon, so he had to spend a few days in this small town in Africa. Donny left exasperated and red from anger to find a taxi and so he did, he found one and when he stepped into it, astonished, he saw the cab driver was wearing the very same clothes he had lost at the airport. Little did he know the biggest adventure of all his miserable life was about to happen.

A couple of days later, after spending time with smelly people and around animal poop, Donny was beginning to feel helpless, he needed to find a job because he was running out of money, he saw an advertisement as an elephant trainer, so he went to the address written on it. When he arrived he found a really big man, he was concerned for Donny because his skin color was red, red as an apple. He gave Donny the job anyway, because he felt sorry for him. Donny began to train elephants but things just didn’t work for him, elephants  were really mean to him, they hit him with their tails and stepped on his shoes on purpose, they even stepped on his back and ruined it, he couldn’t walk normally anymore. As he was cleaning himself one day, a mysterious black man appeared.

“I can take you out of here, Donny,” he promised him.

“God, is that you?” Donny replied.

“No, even better I am Neil deGrasse Tyson,” he said. “We are going to travel through time and space to free you from this nightmare.”

Donny was very confused but he suddenly appeared at home. It was all a bad dream… or so he hoped. His mom’s voice rang through the house.

“Donny it is late, you have a plane to take to Switzerland”.
