3. Here is the missing passage:
It was the year 3009. The door opened, and a whole new world welcomed us. I wondered what we would encounter. The scout robots had searched to and fro and came back with reassuring reports. There were water, plants, and animals. None of the life forms were found to be as intelligent as humans. It was a planet that was perfect for habitation. My family was chosen to be in the first group of settlers. We were about to set foot on New Planet when another spaceship landed. We watched as a door opened and tall mouse-like creatures, standing upright on their hind legs, stepped out. Our scout robots flew into action and took scans of the creatures. They did not seem dangerous. Then, the tallest mouseman said, "What are you humans doing here? We discovered this planet first, and we are going to live here!" His voice sounded a little squeaky, and his long whiskers twitched now and then. Captain Spirk came out to speak with the mouse people, "Now hear this King Rodent, we filed our paperwork with the Office of Livable Planets. Everything is official. You’ll just have to find yourselves another place to live."
"We both know how difficult that would be. There is no way we are leaving," King Rodent squealed.
"Excuse me, Your Highness and Captain Spirk, isn’t this an enormous planet? Why can’t we all live here together in peace? We could help each other out as we learn about this place. We could work together to protect ourselves from other invaders," I bravely suggested.
"You know, the kid is onto something there! This could be a new world with different intelligent species living together in harmony. That could work! What do you say, Mousey?" Captain Spirk questioned King Rodent.
"Okay, Captain Smirk, it’s a deal as long as we divide it evenly. We won’t settle for less than half," King Rodent answere& The two leaders shook hands, and we all introduced ourselves to one another. That was only the beginning.
