tent and was tugging at the flap. He looked at Mullon and Freddy so demandingly there was no more
doubt that he wanted into the tent.

"What does he want there?" asked Mullon.

"I donтАЩt know," Freddy laughed. "Ask him!"

Mullon bent down to the little monkey, who tugged at the tent flap all the more. Mullon hesitated a bit,
then raised the flap. The Mungo slowly walked into the tent. His 5 companions remained behind.

It was dark inside the tent until Freddy raised the lantern and held it behind the Mungo. He had already
found his way to MilliganтАЩs cot in the darkness and now stood in front of the sick man. He looked back
& forth from Milligan to Mullon, who had come in behind him.

Freddy raised the lantern high enough that the light touched MilliganтАЩs face and in a few moments he
opened his eyes. "What inтАж" he mumbled sleepily and confused.

"You have visitors," answered Mullon.

Milligan looked to the side and discovered the little monkey. "AhтАж is that the little guy who saved Mrs.
Mullon this afternoonтАж?"

"I donтАЩt know, Milligan," said Freddy, "but it looks like it in any case."

The Mungo had followed the brief conversation with such attentiveness that it looked like he understood
every word. Now, as everyone grew quiet, he sprang up on MilliganтАЩs bed and began to pull the manтАЩs
shirt apart where it was unbuttoned at the collar. The blue spots all over MilliganтАЩs skin came into view.
The Mungo laid its small, delicate hand on one of the pustules, looked at Freddy and with a deep and
bewailing voice cried: "UuuuuhтАж ep-ep!"

Mullon bent down to him. "Yes, itтАЩs terrible," he answered, as serious as if he had understood what the
monkey wanted to tell him.

The Mungo began to chatter and gesticulate with his arms. Mullon did not doubt that the monkey was
not only excited but that he wanted to say something too.

"Can anyone help me brush up on my Mungoese?" Mullon inquired half-mockingly and half-desperately.

The Mungo seemed to understand that he was not being understood. With a long jump that surprised
Mullon he sprang down from MilliganтАЩs bed and out of the tent. As Mullon and Freddy followed, they
heard a sharp, shrill cry and when they finally emerged from the tent, the 6 Mungos had vanished without
a trace.

Mullon scratched his head. "If I only knew what all this means," he murmured, thoroughly at a loss.

"I think I can tell you," Freddy answered. "They want to help Milligan."

Mullon looked at her, startled. Then he started to laugh. "You arenтАЩt serious! How could a bunch of little
monkeys be able to help a sick Terran?"
