Hm..m..m, strange sounding names,
really strange.'
'They're not strange where we come from,' says Roger.
'I suppose not,' says Stobey. 'Tell us, Suzanne and Roger, why has an
interplanetary space liner come to Super-Rock Playground. Aren't the
regular ports for space liners in orbits above Io and Europa?'
'Well, yes,' Suzanne says. 'We're on our way to Europa to visit our uncle
who's in charge of a space colony. The colonists are also people from
Planet Earth.'
'The Captain of our space liner told us the port at the Europan colony is
temporarily filled with other space liners,' Roger adds, 'so he brought our
liner here for a couple of hours to wait until a mooring slot for us opens
up there.'
'Right,' Suzanne adds. 'When we got here and saw this beautiful
playground we asked the Captain if we could visit it for a while. As you
see, he agreed, and here we are.'
'We're certainly glad you came,' Stobey says. 'We're heading for the
Midway. Would you like to join us?'
'Oh, yes,' says Roger, 'we sure would.'
'Yes, we would like to join you,' says Suzanne, 'and we thank you for the
invitation.
