"Then let me rule for ye!" exclaimed the Plutonian instantly. "My brothers will abide with ye as your guests  shall see that ye receive a fair reward for the white sap; and I will convey your commands to the Lords of the Green Star." THEN LET ME RULE FOR YE EXCLAIMED THE PLUTONIUM INSTANTLY MY BROTHERS WILL ABIDE WITH YE AS YOUR GUEST SHALL SEE THAT YE RECEIVE A FAIR REWARD FOR THE WHITE SAP AND I WILL CONVEY YOUR COMMANDS TO THE LORDS OF THE GREEN STAR
. That sap you call valueless is dearer than life itself to the Lords of the Green Star. For they are afflicted in great numbers with a stinking death they call cancer. It destroys their vitals, and nothing--nothing in this broad universe can help them save this white sap ye give them. In your hands ye have the power to bring the proud Lords of the Green Star to their knees. They would fill this chamber many times with their most priceless treasures for the sap ye give them so freely. Withhold the sap, and your Thinking Ones may go to the Green Star itself to rule over its Lords. They are desperate. Their emissaries may even now be on the way to beg your pleasure. Speak, Thinking Ones! Would ye not rule the Green Star?" * * * * * But the chiefs failed to become enthused. One of them rose and addressed the Plutonian: "O Lord of the Outer Orbit! For near one full phase have ye dwelt among us. And well should ye know we have no desire for conquest. We fear to go to the Green Star to rule. NEERED THE PLUTONIAN HEAR ME THE SAP YOU CALL VALUELESS IS DEARER THAN LIFE ITSELF TO THE LORDS OF THE GRE STAR FOR THEY ARE AFFLICTED IN GREAT NUMBERS WITH A STINKING DEATH THEY CALL CANCER IT DESTROYS THEIR VITALS AND NOTHING NOTHING IN THIS BROAD UNIVERSE CAN HELP THEM SAVE THIS WHITE SAP YE GIVE THEM IN YOUR HANDS YE HAVE THE POWER TO BRING THE PROUD LORDS OF THE GREEN STAR TO THEIR KNEES THEY WOULD FILL THIS CHAMBER MANY TIMES WITH THEIR MOST PRICELESS TREASURES FOR THE SAP YE GIVE THEM SO FREELY WITHHOLD THE SAP AND YOUR THINKING ONES MAY GO TO THE GREEN STAR ITSELF TO RULE OVER ITS LORDS THEY ARE DESPERATE THEIR EMISSARIES MAY EVEN KNOW BEYOND THEIR WAY TO BEG YOUR PLEASURE SPEAK THINKING ONES WOULD YE NOT RULE THE GREEN STAR BUT THE CHIEFS FAILED TO BECOME ENTHUSIASTIC ONE OF THEM ROSE AND ADDRESSED THE PLUTONIAN O LORD OF THE OUTER ORBIT FOR NEAR ONE FULL PHASE HAVE YE DWELT AMONG US AND WELL SHOULD YE KNOW WE HAVE NO DESIRE FOR CONQUEST WE FEAR TO GO TO THE GREEN STAR TO RULE
