   On Planet Harmony, two Earthlings were talking. Nathan had just arrived from Earth. Simon said, "I've been here for almost a year. I had heard about this place for many years. It always sounded too good to be true. But it's all true. People here are so nice! They're never negative. They're never mean or impolite. They're always friendly and helpful." Nathan said, "That's exactly why I decided 1 to move here. Hey, maybe you and I can do something together this weekend?" Simon said, "I'm afraid I can't. You see, I'm returning to Earth tomorrow." Nathan asked, "For a little vacation, or what?" Simon said, "Actually, for good. Frankly 2, I miss Earth. I know this sounds crazy, but I miss the jerks and idiots on Earth. Planet Harmony is just too much sugar. I need to yell at someone. I need someone to yell at me. I need some spice."
