It's a real slippery fish, even after it's smoked.
Stobey climbs aboard Cream Cheese and Slutter slides into Lox. They
take off and head for a landing strip on the slope of a mountain on
Phobos, one of Planet Mars' moons.
They land their spaceships on Phobos and explore the mountaintop.
They come to a wide, deep hole near the center of the peak. Next to the
wide, deep hole they see a sign. On the sign is printed 'The name of this
mountain is 'Bagel.'
'Just imagine,' Stobey laughs. 'We flew to the moon on Cream Cheese
and Lox, and where did we land? On a bagel!'
It begins to rain. The rainwater on Phobos is white. The reason the milk
is white is that on the moons of Mars it always rains milk-real milk.
There is a legend in the Planet Mars community that the milk-rain on
Phobos really comes from the Cow That Jumped Over the Moon.
Stobey and Slutter take drinking cups from their lunch boxes and hold
them up. The cups fill with milk.
'Hm,' says Slutter. 'Here we are, with Cream Cheese and Lox on Bagel,
having cups of milk.'
Stobey and Slutter look at each other and giggle.
