- 7. In this humorous science-fiction play, the Earth is saved by a book of Mother Goose nursery rhymes through a comic misunderstanding. A Martian crew lands and enters a library as part of a plan to invade Earth, taking orders from their proud, foolish leader Think-Tank back on Mars. The crew finds a book, but since the Martians do not know what books are, they badly misinterpret it. When the silly nursery rhymes are read out and reported to Think-Tank, he takes them literally: a rhyme about a cow jumping over the moon convinces him that Earthlings can leap into space, and other rhymes make him believe the people of Earth are extremely advanced and intend to attack Mars. Frightened by this imagined threat, Think-Tank hastily cancels the invasion and orders his crew to retreat. Thus a harmless children's book, completely misread, frightens the Martians away and saves the planet.
