"With these instructions," the doctor declared, "any one could do as the Venusians do visit other worlds in spirit!" Just then Estra and Myrin returned. They were moving at what was, for them, a rapid pace; and to all appearances they were rather excited.
The four had been on Venus almost twenty-four hours when Smith, knowing the condition of the machinery in the cube, warned the others that they must return. Secretly, he was tired of the Venusians' continual smiling; for they had fairly outdone each other to show the visitors all that could be shown. But it was Van Emmon who thought to ask for Estra's wonderful library.
He indicated another of the little books. "I think we will do well to investigate a planet which the Venusians call 'Sanus. It belongs to the tremendous planetary family of the giant star Arcturus. I haven't read any details at all; I didn't want to know more than you. We can proceed with our discoveries on an equal footing."
I didn't write the trip off as a complete loss, the weather in California was beautiful. Adamski held the UFO spotlight for some time. The Venusians paid him another visit, this time at the restaurant, and he photographed their "ship." This, whether by Venusian fate or design, increased the flow of traffic to the restaurant at the base of Mt. Palomar. It also had its side effects.
"Just what I was wondering about," from Van Emmon. "The humans seem to do all the work, and the bees the bossing!" The doctor expected this. "The Venusians had our viewpoint the viewpoint of people on the earth, when they said that the workers rule. We consider the bee as a great worker, don't we? 'As busy as a bee, you know. None of the so-called lower animals show greater industry."
In a minute or two the congestion seemed relieved, and Myrin began to talk slowly: "You have doubtless guessed, by this time, that we Venusians have crossed what some call 'the animal divide. We are predominatly intellectual, while you on the earth are, as a race, still predominantly animal. Excuse me for putting it so bluntly." "It's all right," said the doctor, with an effort.
The Venusians, this space traveler warned his audiences, were already infiltrating the earth and he intimated that they were ready to move in case we didn't cease atomic testing. His next two trips to Venus were purely social.
"As yet," he went on, "we should make no attempt to 'put ourselves in the other fellow's place. Such efforts require a violent exertion of the imagination, and we need practice before tackling the more advanced problems. "Time enough, after a while, to get in touch with the Venusians. There's none of them that has a view-point like ours. And once we've done that "
"You must not misunderstand. Remember, even on your own planet, the distribution of food is becoming more and more extensive, until you can now buy something to eat at every crossroads. We have merely carried the idea to its logical end, so that all Venusians can obtain food at any time, and at any spot."
Damned busybodies, always spoiling things for everybody.... Caswell was a choleric little man with fierce red eyes, bulldog jowls and ginger-red hair. He was the sort you would expect to find perched on a detergent box, orating to a crowd of lunching businessmen and amused students, shouting, "Mars for the Martians, Venus for the Venusians!"
