Proxima Centauri and the Aliens of Porrila/9 Is this better of worse
A guard opened the entrance of the little prisoner’s cell, told him he could meet the other prisoners and grumbled about all those Terran innovations. Blue Grey Tentacles shuddered when Terrans were mentioned. He didn’t want to meet anybody. He felt miserable about what he’d done to the Terrans. He just stayed where he was with his head buried in his tentacles and half his food uneaten. There was a tingling in his tentacles, he began to feel better. He looked up. There was the old prisoner with the brown tentacles stroking him. The youngster stopped feeling better. ” “Get your rotten tentacles away from me!” “Come on, I want to be your friend. I’ve got some MUD for you. ”

Blue Grey Tentacles had been warned not to accept MUD from strangers. It was the same as Terran children being warned not to accept sweets from strangers.
