Father, mother, and three children had arrived at the canal. A long, straight, narrow canal, rich in coolness and humidity and reflections, in the night.
- I've always wanted to see a Martian - said Michael - but I never do. Yet, you promised me, Dad! -
- Look, where are the Martians - said the father, pulling Michael into his arms, pointing to the water.
Michael began to tremble. There they were, the Martians, in the water of the canal, reflecting their image.
They were Tim, Mike, Robert, Mom, Dad.
And the Martians remained there, watching them from below, for a very, very long time, in silence, watching them from the gently rippling water..."
