Grade 3 Author's Purpose

The spaceship landed in the middle of the playground. Everyone froze. No one dared to speak or move. Suddenly, a little door on the bottom of the craft opened. The people didn't know whether to run or stay, so they just watched to see what would happen next. Suddenly a small green creature appeared and looked around at the startled people. He looked as surprised to see them as they were to see him. "Oops," he said. "Wrong planet!" He then turned around and scampered back into his ship and shut the door. Suddenly there was a whoosh and the ship disappeared. The people looked at each other, shrugged and the children started playing again.
