It’s noontime here on little Planet Z, where all inhabitants have names that starts with Z and wake up at noon, along with the ten suns shaped like strawberries. Their only job is to make the others happy, and it’s a truly difficult task, since they cannot speak and touching is forbidden.

Zack jumps on its feet and rushes to the mirror to comb his ten feet long beard. Then he paints it in pink, like all men do, here on planet Z. He will wear his tiny pink-hearted shorts and his mushroom hat with cat ears. This is the mandatory outfit, here on Planet Z.

Part of his job is to call all of his acquaintances and bark like a goat, louder the better. They will bark back with enthusiasm, to prove their good intentions. This is how all communicate on Planet Z.

He’ll cook mud pies with frozen worms and offer them, with a happy bark to all of his neighbors. As a sign of gratitude, they will spit on his mushroom hat. More spit he collects, more points he makes. The poor ones with no mud pies and no spit will be beheaded on public square. Also the ones who did not wake up at noon.

Zack was beheaded once and, even if the head grew back, he’s still traumatized. First, the new head is uglier, bigger and full of pimples! Second, the new head doesn’t bark quite right, like goats do, here on Planet Z. So, Zack wants to avoid the experience by any means.

The public meating in the Big Square ends the day. Here they’ll show how good citizens they are, by making funny faces and barking very loud. Zack tries. He really does, but the new big head doesn’t follow his own orders.

Zack begs by showing the huge pool of spit that he collected on his mushroom hat, but the Leaders are ruthless. Poor Zack!

He falls asleep thinking it can’t get worse! The new head keeps quacking and asking for mud pies. “Please like me!” it also says. It speaks! And this is unforgivable, here on Planet Z!
