"Be still, you fool!" Manoli shouted at him.

The man stopped singing and looked at Manoli with a beaming smile. "Why take it so hard, Doc?" he
asked. "Life is beautiful. ThereтАЩs no reason for us to make it difficult."

Manoli lost his temper. "YouтАЩre making it difficult for me, you idiot!" he yelled at the patient. "When will
you come to your senses?"

"Sense?" the man giggled. "IтАЩm sensible. YouтАЩre the fool!"

The physicians were baffled by the condition from which he and his 699 mates suffered. They had never
before observed that type of euphoria on Earth. The affected victims knew no restraint whatsoever and
for this reason Manoli and his associates gave the disease the name hyper-euphoria.

They were trying to find the poison. They tested the patient who had been brought in under strict guard
and isolated from the others and they also conducted experiments with one of the few nonues who had
been kept alive for this purpose.

The little furred animal was locked up in a cage and stared between the bars with big sad but curious
and friendly eyes at the men in the white coats. They were careful not to get closer to it than three feet.

Manoli rushed to his side with three or four steps. "Let me see!" he panted.

Hayward moved over and Manoli peered through the microscope. "I canтАЩt see a thing," he complained.
"Is the stuff colourless?"

"Of course," Hayward answered.

"CanтАЩt it be dyed?"

"I havenтАЩt tried yet."

Manoli looked at him flabbergasted. "Then do it! Or do you think weтАЩve got catтАЩs-eyes like you?"
HaywardтАЩs calm couldnтАЩt be shaken. He removed the microscopic slide and put a drop of blue liquid

Manoli sighed with relief. "Well, its about timeтАж
