The Sun Laughed

         Above the sun laughed. It laughed at all of the little people buzzing around through their little countries in their little homes on their little planet. How funny they all were that they thought they knew something of anything. It had watched as they were born under its warming light. It had seen them spread and grown and now everyday watched them send new contraptions into the stars looking for others out among the stars. He watched as they spread out trying to find a planet like theirs, looking for life. The searched through the stars and the sun watched. On their planet they dreamed of all sorts of different beings, living on all sorts of different world’s but when they finally sent something out to look that searched only for copies of themselves.
The sun laughed at how thick headed those little people were to believe that life could only exist as they had. They looked in all the wrong places. While they looked on the planets with water like theirs, air and sun like the one they had they missed all of those that held all sort of different life. They missed the planet only two solar systems away that held a people called the Hanalaadar who lived purely on the radiation from their sun with no need for water, who breathed the nitrogen that their atmosphere was so full of. The missed the Guplator who sometimes passed their planet, who lived in the empty space between worlds, all because they were not looking. The sun laughed as he thought of how so many of those little beings thought that they were creative and “thought out of the box” as they said. They thought that the only way life could exist was in the way it did there, but they could not be more wrong.
They would get it eventually. It just might take a while, but until then the sun would laugh at the humans and their tight minded thinking. He would laugh at the people who buzzed around in their tiny homes in their tiny countries on their minuscule planet, and at how smart and important they thought themselves.
