Once upon a time there was a man named Tartle with feet the size of the moon. He always had to live at home because if he walked anywhere he would devastate cities. Until one day when his wild inventor Uncle Barlof invented a pair of giant hoverboots. Tartle put them on and decided to go out for his very first stroll, but he slipped and fell out into space and soared for millions of miles. What he didn't know was that he was carrying a colony of microscopic bacteria on his massive feet. And over the years they evolved into larger and more intelligent species who colonized every acre of tartle's feet. And eventually ran out of space so they built spaceships and set out in search of habitable worlds. Eventually they came to earth and learned of Tartle and his hoverboot trouble. Which shook the very foundation of their culture, because the facts didn't line up with the aliens'. Deep-seated religious beliefs but eventually they adapted and were accepted into human culture. Until one day an alien was born with feet the size of the moon.
