Oh no! That is scary. So where did you hide the money?

2. Look convincing.

I know. Sneaky

3. Try to blend in.

This one is me!

A SURF-SPY Agent is ready at a moments notice which means we need to think of our disguises quickly and have them close at hand.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES Parlez-vous Francais?

(Par-Lay-Vou-Fran-Say - which means, Do you speak French?)

A good surf-spy should know at least SOME foreign languages. At the very least you should know how to say “hello”.

After you say hello, you can have a coughing attack, start waving your hands madly and go and get some water.

Language

Hi, are you an Alien?

Abs olut e

I have to figure out how to hide my tail! It is a dead giveaway I know.

ly N ot!

NEVER ask an Alien if he is an ALIEN. Hone st

ly. H ow ru de.

Either you will offend him (I mean who wants to be called an Alien? Right?)

Or he IS an Alien and he can’t understand a word that you say. rq*!!

8 u o ? ;lqq Xsafd

SO. If you meet an Alien just repeat back whatever the Alien says to you and nod your head.

If appropriate you can smile, wave, or shake their hand (or tentacle).

Or, perhaps share your ice cream.

MOON MONSTERS

Another good story

by Hula Moose

Z

We were busy resting after a long surf session when one of Agent Longboard’s Robo-Flies showed up.

ZZ

Hear-Yea Hear-Yea - An EARS ONLY message from Agent Longboard. The Earthlings have lost all communication with their water-mining robots on the Moon. The robots were kidnapped by the EVIL Moon Monsters!

Our calculations show that we might be next!

You are suppose to move the Astropod and HIDE!

“WHAT? No way! Let’s fly the Astropod to the moooooon and check it out! A good surf spy always verifies the facts,” lectured Hula Moose.

Help Hula Moose fly the Astropod to the Moon.

Ola! Aloha! Bon Jour! Fellow Blue Creature. Nice fur! Have you by chance seen these water-mining robots?

[Note: It is always good to throw in a compliment. And also have ice cream handy.]

Absolutely! We have been waiting for you!

We needed a third team for the tournament.

We just started practice.

Can you find the 5 Earth-mining Robots and these friends:

REPORT #62436 To: Earth Re: Moon Monsters

Note: Sometimes you think someone is your enemy but really the enemy is not your enemy at all. Or there isn’t even an enemy.

Your Robots will be back to work on Monday.

All about Disguises

Draw yourself in an astronaut suit and imagine the excitement of walking on the Moon! What do you see?

A DIFF ERENT

VIEW Good surf spies always look at things from a different point of view.

I always knew that all I had to do was click 3 times. I just really wanted to see the wizard.

Hood Cape

I told Little Red Riding Hood to hide the basket. She didn’t listen.

Glass Slipper

I wish Prince Charming just loved me for who I am and stopped looking for Cinderella and the other shoe.
