Garth- did you hear moya? there is no nightfall in your new planet , only endless daylight!

Moya- garth we would like that!

Garth- how do we rescue your friends from that web of [dionara]?

Moya- are you unwell?

Garth- there is somebody trying to speak inside my brain, must be bidle from earth he is trying to establish contact with me.

Waldo bidle establishes mental contact with garth across deep space---

Bidle- garth! You are silent what is happening?

Garth- bidle I am struggling against spider men and birds the size of helicopter!

Lumiere- what is he saying bidle?

Bidle- something about spider men…. Shhhh.. lumiere…. Quiet!....let me concentrate…

Spider peple, birds the size of a helicopter? Are you telling the truth?

Garth- bidle keep quit iand I will tell you more!

Garth communicates by mental telepathy with bidle across deep space-

Bidle-astonishing! Now what what would you do garth?

I will feed spider people to the birds and eat the birds myself! any more idiotic questions?

Bidle- garth has broken off contact,amzing! A planet with endless daylight!

Lumiere- bidle what would we do with that empty shell of garth’s body on the sofa? Where is garth?

Bidle-shell? Lumiere do not  irritate me ,I am busy.

Lumiere- I think you are deliberately trying to delay the return of garth’s soul in to his body!

Bidle –you are right lumiere this thing here an emty shell is useless the important thing is real garth who is wandering somewhere in space,I have exiting plans for him, think ! lumiere we can explore the galaxy via garth.

Lumiere- you make sure that you return him NOW!

Page14

Lumiere- bidle you are the only person who can return Garth to his body and I command you to do it now!

Bidle- nonsense ,what is the value of fate of a single individual compared to  lofty principles of science?

Lumiere- oh! This is murder! Bidle- then call the police and see if they believe you, no lumiere, you cannot do anything Garth is mine!

Meanwhile on a distant planet—

Moya we can not  save your friends from the web of dionara unless we cross these plain grounds-explains Garth to moya.

…..and if we do that those giant vultures in the sky are waiting for us.

Moya- but garth we had earlier crossed those plains and they did not attack us!

Garth-that time they were scared of the webs of spider creatures, therefore they let us alone!

Garth- those damned tork birds are the hurdle,if we can finish them rest of the task will become easier

Garth –sylvan what is all that commotion?

Sylvan- they are mourning, one of our men died of violet disease.

Garth- there is no sign of any thing on his body how did he die?

Sylvan-the fool ate the berries from the violet bush, they are poisonous, the death is swift and painless

Garth- sylavan, are these the violet bushes?

Sylvan- yes garth.

Garth- can we use these berries to poison the tork birds?

Sylvan – we tried that too but they don’t eat the berries.

Garth –then we should try to extract their juices by boiling them and drying the juices to get the concentrate!, sylvan believe me I think my advice will succeed .

Page-15

Garth- have the berries from violet bushes have been collected? We will  start a fire to boil them sylvan, do you have cooking utensils?

Sylvan –garth we are not uncivilized!

Garth – [watching the steaming pots]- now we will dry them and ground them to make powder .

Garth- this quantity of powder should be enough to kill whole flock of tork birds let us try this on an experimental basis.

Sylvan- garth how are we going to use this powder?

Garth- we will kill a few animals and sprinkle this on their carcasses.

Then we will tie them up with strong ropes , if torks carry them off with them we will not be able to know if the poison has worked or not?

Torks feed on dead bodies of poisoned animals tied by ropes to the ground stakes.

Under the influence of violet bushe’s poison giant birds tork lay dying.

Garth- they are all dead now it is safe for us to move out in to the open from the forests.

First phase of our plan is successful!

Now we  are ready to do battle with Dionara and his spider men,sylvan  now I need four of your strongest men and as large a quantity of olyx tree juice as you can collect.

[missing stripsb-221-226]-

Garth with the help of arboreal men conducts a raid on the spider people and with the help of olyx tree juice they manage to free the three tishian young men from the deadly web of spider king dionara,who  is helpless in the face of olyx tree juice and is massacred along with his people by Garth and his arboreal friends.

B227-moya- those three are worthless for a girl of status of a princess like me; you will have to be my husband!

Garth-moya listen to me I am from a planet called earth an I am waiting for my instructions to go back.

Mentime waldo bdle solves the problem of mushroom fungal growth threatening planet tisho-

Algol!  the fungus grows by photosynthesis in presence of sunlight, you should  cover the sun for some time.

Algol- you are right earthman I will call upon the mysterious powers of volcano so that its cloud of smoke blots out sunlight
