Where did English come from?-Part 2
The next day, Caveman Steven woke up to find that his radar was beeping. He realized that the micro rocket came back and was flying down to the ground. "Ugh" he said, which meant:"Wow, so soon!" He went outside and calculated where the rocket was coming. He stood right there and the rocket landed on his head. "AAAAH! he screamed as the rocket fried his brain. "OW, that hurt!" he exclaimed. This is when he first started speaking English. He realized he was speaking another language and he was shocked. After he calmed down(by screaming and shouting and then coming to his senses), he plugged the micro rocket into his computer, which he made himself. There was a PDF file about how to speak English in it. That was the same file that was fried into his brain. At the beginning of the file, there was an introduction about who sent this and how they fried it into his brain. It was an alien from Mars named Boogle Blorp Bleg. He liked to be called Blorp. Apparently, there was intelligent life on Mars, Well actually, there was a whole civilization on Mars. When rocket ships were reinvented after Caveman Steven died, the people on Mars thought they were going to be killed, so they left Mars, drained most of its water and went into a galaxy far, far away. Eventually, a guy named George Lucas found out about this and looked for them. He found out about their story and promised not to tell anyone that they were real, but he made a few movies about it. Anyway, I digress. Let's get back to the story. Steven printed the file out and learned English. When he had any questions, he would email Blorp because that was much easier than sending rockets to him. He eventually tried to teach his fellow cavemen about English, but they thought he was trying to kill them with a magic spell. He ran away with his inventions, before they could hunt him down and kill him. He put his inventions and important files in a chest, and buried it where only the smart could find it. Some say that after that, he committed suicide. Others say that he lived happily in the forest by eating apples, hunting animals, and drinking from streams. He may have even found some nice people to live with.
Much, much later into the future, smart archaeologists found some of his inventions and showed them to people. These people claimed that they invented it, and they showed and understood how it was invented, but in the end, you have to give all the credit to the great Caveman Steven, the first genius. Now, an archaeologist I know told me that she found Caveman Steven's last letter and found out who he was and that he was behind every single invention. She told me to write this story, which is the true story behind everything about technology and English that we know.
