One sunny day a friendly Alien came to Earth. Delighted to explore what this planet Earth is like, the Alien observed very closely how human went about their daily activities. After a long time of observing, the Alien declared, "Ah hah! I know what the problem is with Earth. Human beings have to eat."
         To eat, humans need plates, forks and knives; then, a refrigerator to keep food fresh and a freezer to store food and of course, the pots and a stove to cook food. Then they need a table for the plates, and chairs to sit and eat and also a house to put the table, chairs, stove, refrigerator and freezer, plates, knives, forks and spoons in. To get the food they have to go grocery shopping, which means getting dressed and having a car. Since the car needs gasoline to drive, the humans have to work to earn the money to pay for everything. All this just to eat! That’s the problem on Earth: Humans have to eat.
Can you imagine how life would be if humans didn’t have to eat?
