Harrys guide to the galaxy

"Cqvb vb r znbbnpn cf cqn jfayu..." The voice coming from the raido sounded like nails scraping across a blackboard. There was nothing earth could do. It was on all channels. All TVs were off, because the face (if you could call it a face) that accompined it was too hideous to bear. "Lfd jvyy sn fda byrinb..." It droned on. It was on every channel. Sorry, all but one. NASA had squished a translator into the slot of BBC 7. When the broad-caster herd of this, NASSA was destroyed. Nobody Understood it. "Cqn ifpfe gfcnacl rbbftvfe cqrexb lfd ofa lfda tffgfarcvfe." It concluded. The children came out from under the tables, the adult came out from the celler. People flooded out of their houses.
"look mummy, The ships are leaving!" A small boy said, smiling. The only person that wasn't cheering, was Harry. Harry White was 12 and just wishing he could get on with his homework. He stuck his head out of the window and was about to shout
"GOOD RIDDANCE!" after the yellow ships, when something happened. No, a bird dropping didn't splat in his eye. No, he didn't fall out the window. It was something much more exicting then that. It will tell you straight. He was grabbed by the scruff of his neck. Then with a gasp of surprise, throne against the wall. A man, with a towel wrapped round his neck chucked a small book at him. The man looked about 30, but was in fact about 200. He had black dreadlocks. Harry couldn't tell were his skin finished, and were his orange jump suit started. The man turned to him.
"Put this in your ear."
"WHAT???!!!!!"Harry cried pushing the man away. The man made a (quite good) attempt at pushing a small yellow fish into his ear.
"look, you need it!" He cried, and made another attempt. This time, it worked.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SHOVE IN MY HEAD???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Harry cried, trying to pull the fish out. It didn't work.
"It's a Babel fish. look it up." Harry examined the book the man had given him. It was black, and felt like mettle. The most striking thing was this, though. It had DON'T PANIC In big letters on it's cover. Harry opened it. It was like a laptop, so he tiped in Bable fish. The hitch hikers galaxy (harry new it was that, it said when he opened it) had this to say:
the Babel Fish is small, yellow, and simultaneously translates from one spoken language to another.
When inserted into the ear, its nutrition processes convert sound waves into brain waves, neatly crossing the language divide between any species you should happen to meet whilst travelling in space. AKA: stick it in your ear for no more french.
