  Between the ages of fifteen and seventeen, Ray worked with bands in Florida, but in 1948, while still only seventeen, he decided that there wasn't much future for him there and decided to go to Seattle, in the north-west of the U.S.A.

  Ray arrived in Seattle and went to a small hotel to sleep.When he woke up, he was hungry.It was two o'clock in the morning, and everywhere was closed.Ray managed to find a small club and knocked on the door.A man on the door said they had no food, but“we've got a talent night on here,”he added.Ray saw his chance and told the man he could play the piano and sing.The man tried to discourage him, but he was finally guided to the piano and sang a song.As he came off the stand, a man stopped him and said,“I'm from the Elks Club.I think you've got a weekend job.”That was Tuesday.By Friday he was working regularly, and after that he never looked back.It was the beginning of his climb to stardom.

Mary and Peter were having a picnic with some friends near a river when Mary noticed an object overhead. "Look!" she shouted to her friends. "That's a spaceship up there and it's going to land here."

    Frightened by the strange silver-colored spaceship, most of the young people got in their cars and drove away quickly. Peter was fond of Mary and always stayed close to her. They, more curious than frightened, watched the spaceship land and saw a door open. When nobody came out, they went to the spaceship and entered inside. Peter followed Mary into the spaceship and did not hear the door closed behind him. The temperature fell rapidly and the two young people lost consciousness.

   "Yes," said Mary. "And we both went into it. Then..." she looked at her wrist. "That's funny. My watch has stopped. Oh, well, come on. It's time to go home."

    Driving about fifty meters, they found their way blocked by a thick wall made of something like glass. They got out of the car and tried to find their way round the wall but discovered that they were inside a circular wall. It was like a mirror and prevented them from seeing through it.

   On the other side of the wall, strange creatures walked past slowly. A few stopped to stare through the wall and read a new notice which, translated into English, said: "New arrivals at the zoo: a pair of Earthlings in their natural surroundings with their mobile house."
