Shel was waiting, very tense indeed. He had received a
call from one of his workers earlier that day; they had told him that
one of the people he had sent down to earth was going to go to visit
the earth-person and decide then if they thought that the earth-person
was ready to be brought up. They had said that the Cuñan would call
later and tell him. Shel hadn’t even heard if the Cuñan who had found
the earth-person was a man or a woman.
He was now pacing up and down his office. He was
covered in sweat and was biting his fingernails as he always did when
he got nervous. He wished that they would have told him who it was
that was bringing up the earth-person because he had sent a number of
Cuñans down to earth. When he thought about it, he knew that whoever
the Cuñan was, they must be feeling just as anxious as he was. After
all, if the earth-person didn’t like this planet enough not to be mad
at them then their whole friendship with the earth-person would be
ruined. For the worker who had called Shel had told him that the Cuñan
had made friends with the earth-person and was very nervous. However,
Shel was too anxious over the earth-person coming to think about the
Cuñan right now, especially as he didn’t even know which Cuñan it was.
And then suddenly the phone rang. Shel rushed over, his heart
pounding,
“Hello” he said.
"Yes,” Shel heard a man’s voice say. “I have a product that you might
be interested in buying and –
“Hold on one moment please.” Shel said wearily, he pressed a blue
button on the wall and within 30 seconds a lady walked in.
“Can I help you?” She asked.
