Mrs. Green announces that a new student is joining the class, and he is coming from far away. Immediately, everyone makes their guesses about where he is from. Hubie has his own suspicion--the new kid is from Mars!

It is time for a class trip, and all Hubie's friends want to go to the amusement park. But Hubie doesn't. Waiting in long lines? Rides named after natural disasters? There's nothing amusing about that.
