Description
The pilot of a rocketship lands on what he takes to be an asteroid in order to make repairs but is perplexed when he hears a voice seemingly from nowhere pleading to him to help a lost and hungry traveler. He looks all over the "asteroid" but cannot find the source of the pleading and asks if the speaker is invisible. The voice replies no, the man can see him, why won't he help? Since the voice says that it is lost, the man asks "Where are you from?" and the voice replies "From the fourth galaxy". The pilot gestures in the direction of the named galaxy and the grateful voice utters "You've saved me human." After the man lift-offs in his rocketship, he realizes that what he took for an asteroid was actually an alien life form as it moves away from him under its own power.
