THE GREEN BEAUTIFUL
- Good morning everybody, we have news, the meeting of the planet is opened.
- We need of the rye..Yes. - We have some wheat.
- We need soya! - We have it!
- We have a big crop of dry fruits! - Yes... - I would need it for two months.
- Medicines? - Yes!
- We won't have anougt for everybody.
- Wool! - Who wants some wool?
- It's good! - How many knives we need?
Seventen.
- Schools?
- We would need a teacher of telepathy. Mass died, we have nobody who's ready.
- Ok, I'll come to you this year.
- A teacher of future prediction,
- I can, but only for six months, I have a grandson who I am going to deliver.
- Marriages? - Three boys.
- Then deaths.
There was Amais 255 and a quarter years old, 248 years Aramos, Laleta 272 years old.
All died happy and wise.
Ah, on the contrary there was the death of Amile
who was only 143 years old, he had an accident, a rockfall.
How re you Mila, it is not too sad for you?
- It's all right, the kids help me well.
- Fine, then travels?
- This year we would really need to send somebody to the Earth.
It's been 200 years since we were there.
- Who wants to go on the Earth?
To Narbos?
- We can only send ten to Narbos, you arrange it between you.
- To Earth?
- To Cristo?
- We can send only 23 to Cristo, you deside who.
- Who wants to go to the Earth?
Nobody for the Earth?
So what should we do?
- As usual, we don't go there?
- It 's 200 years since last time we went,
this year we should send somebody there.
- What for?
- Nothing special, we observe, we enquire, we see what we can do.
- We can do nothing …
- Sure, other planets teach us things so do we, but the Earth...
- Well, they are very outdated but that's no reason to...
- And dangerous!
- We could have send them someone with the program of disconnection,
to move them forward more quickly.
- But we don't even know where they are now!
- But we could guess.
- I could get information about the Earth from Osam,
he was a last one there, but he's been on Narbonne for 20 years.
- I 'm here, you didn't see me, I came back from Narbonne 2 months ago.
- Greetings Osam, I had not seen you.
So, could you tell us, where were they at that time when you came back from the Earth?
- Yes, of course, but it was long time ago, there were two of us, Mila's father and I.
We landed in France in Paris, there was a revolution against the King,
That's right, they had become a republic,
but... that was very quickly spoiled, they had an Emperor,
Napoleon, a something like that.
An agressor, who slaughter people in stupid wars.
After this, the kings came back, society continued to degrade,
leaders, presidents, all those, came one after another.
- Was it really that difficult overthere?
- Oh yes, law of the strongest, squashed women, no distribution, massacres.
We had a feeling that it would take them centuries to recover.
They even had the system of the money still.
Before we left I had hid some gold.
- What is this money?
- For instance if you want something, you can't get it without money.
- Even to eat?
- Especially!
- But to eat it's neccesity, we die if we don't eat.
- But they do this, if you have no money you have nothing.
- You think that they still have this money?
- No, I really don't think so.
When we left, that was the beginning of an industrial era.
- What is that?
- I think we past it abouts 3000 years ago or close to that.
It was competition, literacy, mass production of useless objects, wars,
nuclear technology, destruction of nature, diseases without cures, a prehistoric period!
- Last year my brother had a telepathic contact with the Earth.
- Yes, I saw a country where the women had a veils on their faces,
and they did't have the right to drive a car.
- Impossible, you think that they still have cars?
- What is it, cars?
- I have never seen it, because when we left the Earth, they still did't have them.
but it seems that us too once had cars in our industrial era.
- Yes, we teach it in archaeology,
they were made of iron,
you set down inside it and move all around.
- People didn't walk any more, then they died from heart attacks.
- And there were millions of deaths from accidents.
- But I really think in 200 years, they've had the time to get rid of those cars.
What about their hierarchy?
- Oh, that hierarchy, overthere is something.
The men think they're superior to the women,
city people above the villagers,
adults are better then the children, the human beings are suerior to
the animals and plants, and then there are the races.
- What is it?
- It's a big planet, with many different continents
which results in many different human beings seperate from each others,
then when they met, the most degenerate
thought they were superior then everybody, there was mass killings,
and now it is the degenerates who dominate everything.
- We were lucky with our little planet, the single race,
the single climate, the single way of development, easy!
- But it's not because they didn't have chance they didn't even try.
- Anyway we shouldn't give up on them, we can't say that we've done anything to help.
- But they are not open to communication,
They are probably plaything with computers
instead of execising their brain,
they are using 10% of it.
- Their brain must be the size of a sheep's poo.
- It's useless to go there. They should go their own way.
It's like with lettuce, do not pull over it's soil it'll grow more quickly!
- But we could've put it a little manure on their lettuce.
- Yes, we can disconnect a group of well chosen people to help them.
- So, volunteers?
- Anyone, come on, just one, full of courage.
- Excuse me, but I want to go there.
- Oh mum, you want to go?
