a bit of silly fiction WAS Re: UFOs?

I remember that story and the assignment that went with it: Write your

own story about some every day occurrence as seen through the eyes of

an alien who would be unlikely to understand what they were seeing.

" I just remembered something that is oddly appropriate given the day.

When I was in second grade, our teacher handed out a copy of a

children's story, or maybe it was in a textbook, about tiny aliens who

landed on earth. They landed in a place where big men formed up in

lines and smashes into each other while others ran around chasing each

other. All the while they were fighting over an oval spheroid. All

around were madly screaming crowds. The aliens thought that they were

watching some kind of war or battle and thought the people who were

watching such a thing and cheering weren't for them, so they left. "
