Synopsis
The enchanting story begins: The spaceship floated gently, anchored by a beam of lavender light to the earth below. Round in shape and glowing warmly, it looked like a gigantic old Christmas tree ornament fallen from the night sky. The Ship landed on Earth purposefully, the intelligence commanding it beyond navigational error. Yet an error was about to be made . . . The hatch was open, the crew out and about, probing the earth with strangely shaped tools, like little old elves caring for their misty, moonlit gardens. It was clear they weren't elves, but creatures more scientifically minded. For they were taking samples -of flowers, moss, shrubs, saplings. Yet their misshapen heads, their drooping arms and roly-poly, sawed-off torsos would make one think of elfland, and the tenderness they showed the plants might add to this impression-were someone of Earth nearby to observe it, but no one was, and the elfin botanists from space were free to work in peace. Even so, they started in fear when a bat twittered by, or an owl hooted, or a dog barked in the distance. Then their breathing quickened and a mistlike camouflage surrounded them, flowing from their fingertips and from their long toes. Nothing could camouflage their Ship, however, and it had already been detected by military radar and other scanning devices. Government specialists in extraterrestrial research were bouncing around the back roads in noisy vehicles, talking to each other on radios, closing in on the great ornament.
