Invasion

"I am Kell. I am ready for my tour," the alien said. "Show me the bounty of Earth.:"
Jeanette, his tour guide, thought that Kell looked like a swamp monster, but he seemed nice.
The fish market in China Town was loud, bustling, and smelly. Immediately a merchant appeared and pushed a live sea urchin into Kell's webbed hand.
"Delicious," Kell said. "I must bring some back home with me."
Waving goodbye to Kell as he boarded his spaceship loaded down with a bag of sea urchins, Jeanette mused that this was just the beginning of the invasion of Earth.
