There once was a little planet named Saturn, his parents the earth and the sun, were abusive so Saturn floated 6 plantets away from the sun.His mom, the earth, and his dad the sun never believed in him.Saturn always wanted to open a churro, pizza and ice cream shop combined, but his dad said he would always be a lawyer garbage man like their family has been for years. One day he was walking to his lunch break, he saw an empty bulding and looked at the price, it was $5,000. He went to his dad to ask for $5,000. His dad turned him down and his dad reminded him of the family business. Saturn left shortly after his dad died in a fight against the mob. It must have been the business that he wanted me to join so much. My mom died shorty after that from a heart attack. After that I was all alone the only planet I could turn to was Venus, I asked him for a loan and he gave it to me. I started my churro, pizza, ice cream shop. I ran it for ten years, then all of a sudden Venus took my shop since he helped pay for it and my one friend turned his back on me. After that I became a hobo until one day I found a lottery ticket. I won 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars. After that i became famous and lived my dream of running a pizza, churro, ice cream shop. Resources Used in Researching: __ Astronomy __.
