Nighttime on Granny's front porch under clear starlit sky; soft lamplight glows beside a wooden rocker. Granny sits wrapped in a plaid blanket, eyes lifted to the sparkling heavens, a steaming mug resting on the railing.
Granny loved to look at the stars at night. She would sit on her porch with a warm blanket and count the twinkling lights. "The stars have stories to tell," she would say with a smile. Granny believed the stars guided her through life. Sometimes she felt alone, but the stars kept her company.
Evening on the same porch, dusky sky turning violet; Granny stands at the railing, mouth open in delight. A bright red-and-green light zips above treetops, casting playful reflections on her glasses.
One evening, Granny spotted something unusual in the sky. It wasn't a star or a plane, but a colorful red and green light. "My goodness, what could that be?" she wondered aloud. The light zoomed and danced above the trees. It seemed to be playing hide and seek with her! Granny giggled and waved at the mysterious light.
Sunny afternoon in Granny's backyard dotted with daisies; a small chrome UFO hovers just above the grass. Granny greets friendly visitors with big eyes who wave from the craft's open hatch.
The next day, the colorful light returned, and this time it came closer. Granny could see it was a small, shiny UFO! From the UFO came friendly visitors with big eyes. "Hello, Granny," they said kindly. "We've come to be your friends." The visitors told Granny they wanted to help her feel better. Granny's heart filled with joy at her new special friends.
Late afternoon on a quiet suburban street, sunlight filtering through oaks; JESUS pauses at Granny's white picket fence, eyes wide. The chrome UFO hovers beyond the house while friendly visitors with big eyes peer curiously from its doorway.
Jesus was walking through Granny's neighborhood when he saw the UFO. "What a strange sight!" he exclaimed, rubbing his eyes. He had never seen such a thing before. Jesus was curious and wanted to learn more. He walked closer to Granny's house to investigate the mysterious visitors.
Wooden shed with gardening tools; JESUS gestures GREY ALIEN visitors with big eyes stand huddled near a lawnmower. Sunbeams slip through cracked boards, illuminating their confused faces.
When Jesus arrived at Granny's house, he thought the visitors might scare her. "I'll hide them to protect Granny," he decided quickly. Jesus asked the visitors to come with him and hid them in a shed. "It's for the best," he thought, not knowing Granny had made friends with them. The visitors reluctantly followed Jesus, confused by his actions.
Overcast afternoon in Granny's front yard, damp grass underfoot; Granny stands near the porch steps, tears on her cheeks, facing JESUS who lowers his head. An empty patch of trampled daisies lies beside them, reminding of the missing visitors.
Granny looked everywhere for her new friends. "Where did they go?" she called out sadly. She had been waiting for their help with her achy joints. When she found out Jesus had hidden them away, she was very upset. "They were my friends!" Granny explained to Jesus with tears in her eyes.
Twilight in the backyard, streaks of orange sky; friendly visitors with big eyes hurry across the grass toward their glowing UFO, hatch open. Granny waves sadly from the porch while the craft lifts, its lights reflecting off her spectacles.
The visitors heard Granny calling for them. "We must go back to our friend," they said to each other. They hurried out of the shed and back to their UFO. But they were worried and decided to leave. "Goodbye, Granny!" they called as their UFO rose into the sky. Granny waved sadly as they disappeared among the stars.
Peaceful night on the porch under a canopy of stars; JESUS gently places his hands on Granny's shoulders, golden light glowing around them. An empty rocking chair, plaid blanket, and kettle of tea sit nearby as they smile skyward together.
Jesus felt terrible about the misunderstanding. "I'm sorry, Granny. I thought I was helping," he said gently. Granny explained how the visitors were going to help her feel better. Jesus smiled and said, "I can help you too." He placed his arms around Granny's shoulders and healed her achy joints. Granny forgave Jesus, and they became gathered close, watching the stars together.
