тАЬFine. Business good. Sun shine. Big crowd. Excellent day.тАЭ
тАЬGlad to hear it.тАЭ Edith looked at the two Troof merchants standing
around HaraskaтАЩs booth. тАЬHi, everyone.тАЭ
тАЬHello!тАЭ one of them squeaked. тАЬI Redefe, this Eudobo. How your
health?тАЭ
тАЬI feel much better, thank you. Glad to meet you all.тАЭ
тАЬSame here,тАЭ piped Redefe and Eudobo.
тАЬSo what new?тАЭ Haraska asked Edith. тАЬEnjoying beautiful weather?тАЭ
тАЬYes, very much,тАЭ Edith replied. тАЬActually, I am looking for something
today тАФ тАЭ
тАЬOh?тАЭ said all three Troof, their eyes a bit wider.
тАЬWell,тАЭ Edith continued, тАЬitтАЩs more in the nature of advice. IтАЩm going to
need a place to stay, now that IтАЩm up and around again. I canтАЩt stay at the
mission. Do you have any ideas?тАЭ
The three Troof grew very excited. тАЬHah! Yerega! Knew it! She no
ilantha, not nearly!тАЭ
тАЬHad feeling all along,тАЭ said Redefe. тАЬDefinitely yerega.тАЭ
Edith was puzzled.
тАЬThis good news,тАЭ Eudobo said. тАЬFirst Terran yerega we ever meet.
Good stuff. Yes, can find you place easily, even one conforming to needs of
larger Terran dimensions. I talk to friend about it. No problem. There will
be rent, but you can owe.тАЭ
тАЬWell, that sounds fine,тАЭ Edith said. тАЬThank you.тАЭ
Eudobo shrugged. тАЬPleasure. I find friend now. You want place today?тАЭ
They certainly move fast around here, Edith thought. тАЬTomorrow or
the next day will be all right, thanks. I have some things to gather.тАЭ
тАЬCopacetic,тАЭ agreed Eudobo. тАЬтАШBye now.тАЭ He wobbled off.
тАЬI go with,тАЭ Redefe said. тАЬтАШBye.тАЭ
As the two Troof headed away from the square, Edith turned to
Haraska. тАЬMind answering a couple of questions, my friend?тАЭ
тАЬCourse not. Gimme.тАЭ
тАЬJust what does yerega mean? And that other word тАФ ilantha?тАЭ
Haraska looked surprised; his small mouth made an тАЬo.тАЭ тАЬYou not
know?тАЭ
тАЬNo, I donтАЩt. IтАЩm new here.тАЭ
Haraska considered that. тАЬYes, is true. You would not ask if you didnтАЩt
know. You are, perhaps, yerega by birth! Oh, the marvels of Terra!тАЭ He
seemed quite excited by the thought.
тАЬSo what is yerega?тАЭ Edith asked again.
тАЬMost important things, friend Edith,тАЭ the Troof replied. тАЬDifference
between yerega, ilantha vital. You yerega, which is better, as I am and
Eudobo, Redefe are.тАЭ
тАЬYou mean that there are two kinds of Troof? One yerega, one ilantha
?тАЭ
Haraska shook his head. тАЬNo. One only kind of Troof. Two kinds of тАФ
how you say, attitude? Belief?тАЭ
 Edith was puzzled. тАЬYou mean religion?тАЭ
тАЬAh, that it. Religion. Worship, living life by code. You see?тАЭ
тАЬI do see, but Father McAleer said you have no religion тАФ тАЭ
Haraska gestured impatiently. тАЬNo, no. Of course he say that. He
