Martian Sends a Postcard home*)

                        Boxers are giant baby genius. They wear gloves, shorts and are bottle fed. Speaking seems hampered. To induce they apply something in the mouth.  Besides, their play mate hit the mouth m (aybe intended to cure)  as hard as possible. They go to school that admits only two pupils at most and the classroom resembles their infantile homes, now giant cribs. Each pupil is taught by more than one instructor. The class are designed based on their weight. The heavier they are, the more classes they have: nine, eleven one-minute sessions, with much longer three minute intervals for playing    h o o d
                                    They are genius. After they have got enough play, and the bell announces the start of class, instructors rush to teach simultaneously. The subjects are defense, management, anticipation, calculation, absorption, trading, exchange, execution, etc. These are delivered through lectures, simulation, and demonstration. Besides having classes, they can be treated for injuries sustained during play. Meanwhile, they can be bottle fed, massaged, even showered. For all these they don’t need notebooks, textbooks and other learning resources because they are genius.  In spite of that, they keep understandably nodding, looking impatient to execute.
                       
                        Arithmetic seems the most boring although the materials cover only figures 1 up to 8 or 1 up to 11, etc. This is the only subject that uses teaching media, and is taught by beautiful girls to solve the problem. As this does not work and becomes wasteful, one girl is employed to teach the two groups, and is given at the last fraction of the session
                                   
                                    As the mental capacity is exerted, so is their physical energy. To stimulate their friend’s speaking ability. After a session is over, they hurry to play. The time for playing is much longer than studying, but this is not a problem, because they are genius. They would not stop playing, that is restoring speaking ability by stealthily hitting the diseased mouth. One has to be in charged to make sure they don’t do things that may be construed homosexual, like kissing and embracing. Should that happen, they have to be split. The oral remedy does not work because they remove them when they study.
                                    To go with their immense power, their names are made extremely long like: Mmmmoooohhhhamaaaaddd Aaaaaliiiiiii, Miiiikkkkeeee Tyyyyysssoooooonnnn, Rooooogggeeeeeer Fraaaaazzzzeeeerrrr, etc.
                       
                        People watch them to see whose oral impediment between the two is cured. Usually only one is lucky. Journalists will rush to make interviews with him.
                             
                       
Red light is what better of people feed their eyes on after feeding their mouth at home.  They do this on their way to work.
It is everywhere on the streets. The more people, the more red lights.  If they spy one, they will stop and watch it, even for a moment. They look at it more intensely when the show is going to be over. If they have got enough of the show and want to leave, they have to wait for it to finish in order not to disturb other viewers. Once it is over, however, everyone will disperse and rush for other red lights. If one does not like one, he will turn another direction in order not to disturb the viewers. If they are quite happy with the show, instead of applause, their horse-like  conveyance and mini mobile homes do it for them. Green light seems the least liked, for when one is going to appear, people are prepared to leave, as if they do hate to see it. They also feed their eyes the same way when they go home.
