When Daniyal came home he was exhausted. He went straight to the armchair, curled up and closed his eyes.

On hearing the words “One-two-three – whee!” Daniyal found himself in a room filled with some kind of flashing instruments. Where was he?

On a large control panel there was a blinking red button with the word ‘Navigation’ written on it. Daniyal pressed the button, and right in front of him appeared a map showing different planets and solar systems. Daniyal realised that it was a spaceship. He already knew the names of many of the planets by heart from playing “The Interplanetary Game.” He grabbed the ship’s helm and pulled it towards him. A miracle happened – the ship obeyed and took off.

Daniyal marvelled at the view through the portholes. Multicoloured lights shone to the left and right, while in front the mysterious black sky was scattered with glittering stars. After a little flying around between the stars, the boy opened up the space map and realized that he was close to the planet of Giant Fruits and Vegetables.

Immediately after arriving at the planet, Daniyal caught sight of some little men in shiny suits. The men got into helicopters and took off, and from a great height they watered the huge fruits and vegetables.

Striped watermelons were the size of a car! A team of men rolled a watermelon up to the helipad, put it into a huge net and then fastened it to the helicopter. Daniyal could see an air traffic controller with flags who was carefully watching the flights and guiding the helicopters to the right place.

In the distance he noticed a whole mountain of watermelons. Looking through the telescope, Daniyal could see that some of the men were cutting up one of the huge watermelons with a knife attached to a crane. Inside the watermelons were yellow with red seeds.
