Sunscreen
David Gordon first met Dennis... oh no, he saw a big amazon cardboard box - he heard the little boy who was supposed to be adopted by himself was battling the evil sun , so he only wants to hide in the depths of the cardboard box and peep into this sunny world, his favorite thing to do is to click with a camera without film in it, but since he has given up on adopting him, it has nothing to do with him relationship.
Gordon gave Dennis a very special gift, a waterproof sunscreen, which he put in the open space in front of the huge amazon, and Dennis reached out a hand to take the sunscreen while he was chatting with the guardian.

Nice to meet you
He is in the box.
I don't know if this thought has been tormenting David, or the big cardboard box in the orphanage reminded him of his childhood hiding under the sheets. He didn't follow his sister's advice and returned to the orphanage.
The first time he gave up adopting Dennis was the sudden death of his wife Mary. David's first novel, Battle of the Dragons, was an extremely popular novel. He was invited by the planetarium and booksellers to give lectures in turn. The people around David were very kind - an understanding sister, two well-behaved nephews, both fans and bosses The bookseller, a chubby manager... But these can't let him sleep peacefully in the middle of the night. He looked at Mary's photo and cried silently, and woke up suddenly calling his wife's name in the middle of the night...
But, suddenly, he decided to A man -- with a "200-year-old" dog -- adopted Dennis.
Although, the head of the orphanage told him that Dennis was not easy to get along with.
Although, the head of the orphanage told him that Dennis stole something.
Although, the person in charge of the orphanage told him that Dennis thought he was not from Earth, he came from Mars, and came to Earth to complete his mission.
The first time David actually "sees" Dennis is when he's playing ball with him, and Dennis has to crawl out of that big box to pick it up - a little joda warrior with blond curly hair wearing the one David gave him Sunglasses, cool.
Nice to meet you.

Martian child and Earth dad

David is a special person himself, and he decides Dennis is a special child too - not just because he was abandoned by his parents and traumatized.
While waiting for the adoption evaluation result from the evaluation committee, David didn't answer any calls. Liz asked if you had a call waiting? David's answer was like an ant on a hot pan - I don't believe that.



Dennis is a pretty stubborn kid, and it was obvious from the first day he came to David's house.

David wants to help him with his luggage.

I got it.

David had to let him carry a box bigger than himself into the door.



David made him cheese sandwiches and pushed them in front of him bit by bit.

Dennis pushed the plate back a little, just a little—but it was a weak but firm way to say no.

David had to go to the supermarket to buy a lot of lucky charms.

As a child from Mars, Dennis is indeed amazing.





One day David fell asleep in the middle of the night and dreamed of Mary again.

All of a sudden there was a blinding flash of light in the bedroom

... David opened his eyes and Dennis clicked at him with his camera, which he no longer had to worry about without film

.



The good-natured David pressed his sleepiness and asked: Dennis, why are you taking my picture now?

I'm studying.

Learn to live like a human.

Dennis picked up the sleepy photo of David he had just taken, and narrowed his eyes.



The magic of the Mars wish

Dennis is also manifested in his intense curiosity, strapping his weight belt made of batteries - because he thinks the earth's gravity is too small, he is afraid that he will float away - looking around, Take pictures everywhere.

David tries to make him accept the life of a normal boy, PlanA is to take Dennis to watch baseball.
Daddy Earth explains to Mars kids how to be a baseball superstar.
The Martian child said firmly: superstars do not exist, only supernovas or white dwarfs exist.
Father Earth lost the first game, but he still said I deserve you with great interest.
Daddy Earth scornfully criticized the poor hitters on the field.
The Martian child said it was because I made a Martian wish. A Martian wish that can be attached to any object.
Daddy Earth asked the Martian child in wishing mode to make another wish, and to make the hitter hit a home run now.
The Martian child did so.
home run.
Earth Daddy lost the second game. He still happily encourages the Martian children.

Dennis is a nice Martian kid, even though he only eats fortune cookies, doesn't like the sun, doesn't like to say hello, and sneaks home everything he wants. Daddy Earth said that the time an Earthman waited for a red light added up to a week of wasted life, and he made another Mars wish, which made him miss a red light.
The Martian child said seriously, I made you three minutes younger.
Father Earth was not reconciled and asked him to try again.
Dennis sternly refused to say: I only have so many Mars wishes.
And then generously gave Earth Daddy one - although Earth Daddy didn't know how to use it.

The hot coffee

Martian child is actually very good. David took him to play baseball. He was still in a hurry when he failed to hit three times. After he finally hit it, he hesitantly followed the teaching of Father Earth and said: HOT COFFEE.
Why? So what?
He doesn't know, and neither do we.
It's just a very important person saying that, it should be a very important word.
Although usually, he never echoes what others say. He also gave the very old dog at home a Martian name: Huo Mao Mao.

MM

Dennis told David that he could taste the color.
So David just took a few MM and put it in his mouth.
Red, green, yellow. . .
All guessed right.
Blue, Dennis said he couldn't guess.
Daddy Earth was delighted and thought this was his chance to tell him he wasn't from Mars.
Can't guess it?
The child from Mars swallowed the blue MM candy with certainty, stood up from the grass and said, "I'm going to tell you, I can't guess the blue one."
Daddy Earth had to make him wear sunglasses.
. . . . . .

Later, the Mars child and the Earth father also experienced many, many twists and turns and many, many happy things.
They had a fight, and the Martian child was clamoring to go home, home on Mars.

Home on Mars, no one can understand what the Martian child is saying.
It also took David a long time to figure it out.

Home on Mars is that although we will leave like flaming fur, we will not forget. Home on Mars is when I'm looking at the blossoming sky, and you can look up too. Home on Mars is when a father on Earth said, Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever give up.

Home on Mars is when you come to my world, I will forget the stories I wrote a bookshelf, and forget that I am right How good is California wine, forget whether I have ever run a marathon, but I will never leave you forever.

You are my home on Mars.
