“Ahh, very pretty place,” sighed Zing. He and Zang had just entered the elegant dining area in a posh hotel. The snow outside made the room seem even more cozy.
“What do we do now?” asked Zang. Nervous, he tugged at his collar and wondered why humans put up with such confinement.
“We sit at a table and wait for someone to bring us food.”
“Really? Then maybe we should make ourselves visible, or we’ll be hungry all day!”
Zang laughed. “Right. And try not to speak normally. They’d think we’re space aliens or something!”
Just Writing! 
Dear Linda,
A restaurant might be a bit strange to a couple of aliens. Cute story.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Nice , but they should take some lessons on how to behave in places like that first

You’d think so, right? Maybe they will, after this experience 🙂

I think some customers don’t need to be aliens to feel invisible, lol. Enjoyed that.

Now that’s an entertaining story – Zing and Zang in a restaurant. I guess we’ve all been in their position, not knowing how to behave in a different eatery, whether that’s a different price bracket from our usual, or a different country with different habits (to tip or not to tip…) You made me feel right at home with them!

Oh, good. I’ve gotten to know them quite well, and one thing you can count on is that they never mean any harm to anyone. Nice little guys 🙂
