Policeman and Martian

In one big city Policeman patrolled the street,
When suddenly Martian looked at him,
Yes, real Martian, whose eyes glowed like light bulbs.

Policeman got scared and shouted:
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Martian replied with a smile:
"I'm just learning about your world and how you live."

Policeman frowned and said:
"We live here according to our law,
And if you want to stay here,
You must follow our rules."
Martian smiled and replied:
"I didn't come here to break the law,
I just want to know about your life."

Policeman thought for a moment,
Then he extended hand and said:
"Let's be friends to make our world a better place!"

Since then, Martian began to help Policeman,
Together they searched for criminals and investigated thefts,
And all the inhabitants of the city thanked Martian,
As a protector and friend who will always come to the rescue.

And then one day on the square it was announced:
"Martian receives the title of honorary citizen!
For his service, courage and loyalty to the law
He will receive a medal from the city administration!"

All inhabitants of the city gathered in the square,
Everyone was waiting for the ceremony and banquet with free drinks,
But Martian did not come, as if he had fallen into the ground.

When people returned to their homes,
They found that all valuables were gone.
Literally everything, including grandmother's silver spoons,
Everything was taken out of every house.

Apparently, a whole gang worked in the town,
In every yard there were traces of wide wheels,
Tread pattern of a Martian rover.
Yes, that's right, at this point in our fable there is a dashing twist.
The next day, the residents lynched Policeman.
It didn't give them back their lost values,
But at least it was a little entertaining.
