This is a story about a dentist named Dr. Dan Mirci. In fact, the Dr. Dan that I'm telling you about happens to be the very dentist that you are going to see today! Dr. Dan isn’t an ordinary dentist, he has a secret identity. He is also known as Dr. Dan the Daredevil Dentist! Dr. Dan  rides dirt bikes and sometimes performs death defying stunts! (You can probably look him up on the internet and see some of his shows.) 
Anyway, I'm going to tell you about the time that Dr. Dan the Daredevil Dentist saved the earth! So sit back, take a deep breath and hang on for the ride of your life!
One night Dan's friend Harry called him up in a panic. “Dan! You have to help!” 
Harry is an astronomer and has a large telescope that pokes out of the roof of his house across the street from Dr. Dan. Harry spends most of each night looking through his telescope at the stars and tonight he saw something that scared him silly!
“Harry it's midnight. What's the matter?” Dan asked as he sat up in his bed and rubbed his eyes.
“There is a giant asteroid headed straight for the earth!” Harry said in a panic.
“Harry. I'm trying to sleep. Call NASA or something.” Dan said with a yawn.
“Dan I already did. It went to voice mail...” Harry said. “It will hit the earth in less than two hours! What will we do?”
“Did you call the Army?” Dan asked. He was awake now and went to his window to look outside. Sure enough, there the asteroid was – Dan could already see it in the sky!
“Yes.” Harry explained. “But they said that they had already tried to shoot it down and it's just too big!”  
Dan though for a moment and then said, “Harry! I have an idea! Call NASA and get me two rocket boosters, a space suit, and a parachute! Then meet me at the school! Oh and bring some tools!”
“Sure Dan.” Harry said and then he quickly went to NASA to get the things that Dan needed.
A little while later, when Harry had collected all that Dan needed, He met him at the school. Dan was in the playground taking apart the slides.
“Harry! Come help me will ya?” Dan asked. “We need to connect all of these slides together.”
Harry put the rockets, space suit and parachute on the grass and hurried over to help Dan. They quickly took apart all the slides and connected them together to form a gigantic motorcycle ramp. Next Dan and Harry connected the rocket boosters to the sides of Dan's dirt bike. In the sky the asteroid loomed bright like a second moon! 
“We're almost out of time!” Harry said as he looked at the big asteroid falling toward them.
Dan quickly put the space suit on, followed by the parachute and then he climbed onto the dirt bike. Dan gave Harry a quick salute and kicked the engine to life. It started with a bang and crackled as he twisted the throttle. Dr. Dan lined up with the ramp and revved up the engine. He released the clutch and sent the back tire spinning. He was off! Faster and faster he rode as he quickly ran through the gears. Then, as soon as his front tire touched the ramp he lit the rockets. They roared into life with long red flames that shot Dr. Dan up, up and up! He rocketed past the clouds, past the atmosphere and into space straight toward the asteroid!
The ride through open space was short and soon he had landed on the asteroid. Dr. Dan dropped the rockets and once again, revving the motor of his dirt bike, he began riding as fast as he could around the middle of the asteroid. Now, since there is no gravity in space, the asteroid began to spin as Dr. Dan and his dirt bike rode faster and faster. 
Soon Dr. Dan had the asteroid spinning so fast that as it hit the atmosphere of the Earth it simply rolled off and out into space leaving the earth untouched! As it did, Dan rode off of the asteroid and began to fall back to earth. Dan fell down and down toward the ground until finally he pulled the cord that released his parachute and poof! Dr. Dan and his dirt bike floated gently to the ground and landed in the parking lot of the very building that you are in right now! Just in time to see you!
And that is how Dr. Dan the Daredevil Dentist saved the Earth!
The End
