He emanated a feeling of enigmatic distant Space and something else which my
brain of a little child was unable to grasp then...
The creature lifted his hand with the palm turned toward us and mentally said:
– I am Ales [elei]. You are not ready to come, go back.
Naturally, at once I was eager to know who he was and wanted to retain him
somehow, if only for a little while.
– Not ready for what? – I asked as calmly as I could.
– To come home. – He answered.
The unbelievable might (as it seemed to me then), and at the same time a strange
deep warmth of loneliness came from him. I wished him never to go away and
suddenly I became so sad that I was on the verge of bursting into tears.
– You will come back, – he pronounced in response to my sad thoughts. – It will
be much later, however. And now – go.
His halo became brighter and to my huge regret he disappeared.
The sparkling enormous "spiral" shone for some time and then began to scatter

Stella at last "came to" from the shock and everything around began to shine with
merry light, hugging us with fairy-tale flowers and multicoloured birds which her

– Why are you sad? You’ve done it just splendidly! – Stella exclaimed in
surprise. – Do want me to show you something else?
She wrinkled her nose in a conspiratorial way, after which she looked like a
funny little monkey.
Again everything turned upside down, "landing" us in a madly-bright "parrot-
like" world where thousands of birds chirped loudly and incessantly. My head began
to spin because of this terrible cacophony.
– Ooops! – Stella laughed, tinkling like a bell, – not like that!
Pleasant silence came at once. We "misbehaved" together for a long time,
