Mike Ellik said, "It's an inept analogy, Lee, and you know it."

"But most people reason by analogy," said Lee Chon. "No, Mike. I have

to leave you and Johnny to prevent a recurrence of racial hatred,

intolerance and all the ugly consequences on both sides. This is the

last time I'll answer you, Mike. I'm getting lonesome. In a few years,

I'll get hungry for human companionship. I don't want to be tempted

down. Good-by, Johnny. So long, Mike."

Ellik screamed. "Wait! Answer one more call, Lee. It's the least you

can do for me. I don't know when I'll make it. It may be in a few weeks

or a few years. It won't be just argument, Lee. I'll have something

you'll _want_ to tell Earth about this place and these people."

"I'm still here. Tell it to me now," Chon's voice said.

"No. I want to get proof. Let me rig up some kind of video circuit for

you. I can use parts out of our tape camera and the translators. I want

to get it all across to you."
