.I'm sorry.""No," Jeff said."I don't ever want to be rid of you.It doesn't matter howmixed up you are; I'll just be mixed up along with you." He reached for Norby."I wish you weren't so hard," he said."It's difficult to hug you."Page 35 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html"I don't care," said Norby."Hug me anyway.I'm so glad you want to keep me.""Just the same," said Jeff, "I wish we knew where we were."At that moment something came out of the small castle.It looked distinctlydinosaurish, except for its size."A miniature allosaurus?" said Jeff uncertainly.He stepped back.The creature came up to his knee; it wasn't even as tall as Norby.It waswearing what seemed to be a gold collar and, as it swished its tail, itemitted a series of variegated sounds."Is it talking or just making noises?" Jeff asked, feeling an extreme urge toreach out and pat its reptilian head."Don't you understand it?" Norby asked."I keep forgetting that you're not alinguist.It-or rather, she-says you're cute.""I think she's cute, "too, but what's a miniature dinosaur doing anywhere onEarth? And how is it that she talks?""I don't think this is Earth," Norby said."But you understand the language.Doesn't that mean you ought to know wherethis is?""To tell the truth, Jeff, I don't know how I come to under-stand the language.I didn't know it was in my memory banks until I heard it.And I don't rememberever having been here before-unless-unless this is the place I dreamed about.""But what did you do to get here?" Jeff was scarcely aware that the dinosaurwas nuzzling his hand.Automatically, he began stroking her head."I just shifted through hyperspace.That's why it's so hard to get back.Icould always get you back through normal space, but.""You went through hyperspace without a transmit?" asked Jeff in a half-shout.Norby retreated a step."Is that illegal?""It's impossible.No one can do it.""I did it.""But that's true hyperspatial travel.How did you come to know how to dothat?""I thought everyone knew how.""Well, then, how do you do it?"Norby thought awhile.Then he said, "I know haw to do it, but I don't know howto do it.""That doesn't make sense." Jeff was sitting on the grass, and the creature hadher forepaws in his lap and her head resting on his shoulder.She was making asound like a soft "Gruffle, gruffle, gruffle." Jeff was running his hand downher long neck, which had pointed projections all the way to the tip of hertail."Do you know how to raise your arm?" Norby asked."Certainly.""Do you know how to raise it? Can you explain exactly what it is you do toraise your arm?What happens inside your arm that makes it go up?""I just decide to have my arm go up, and it does.""Well, I just decide to jump through hyperspace, and I just do.I can goanywhere in an instant.But I don't know how I do it.""But, Norby, that makes you the most valuable creature in the Solar System-""Oh, I know that.""I mean, you really are.No one else knows how to go through hyperspacewithout transmits.It would be the greatest discovery of the age if any humanbeing could make it." Jeff began stroking the dinosaur faster and faster."Itwas my am-bition to make the discovery myself.That's why Iwanted to go through the academy and learn all I could about hyperspatialtheory.It's my dream to invent hypertravel some day.Now, with you to helpme-""I said I only know how to do it, nothing else.Is that why you want to bePage 36 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlwith me, Jeff? BecauseI know how to hyper-travel?"'Wo.I told you I was glad I was with you before you told me about it.But nowI'm twice as glad."Jeff was pulling the creature toward himself, yet he still wasn't aware of it."Well then, if you came here, where are we?""But that's the other thing, Jeff.I know how to do it, but I guess I don'tknow how to aim right.Iintended to go to Space Command, and I miscalculated.I don't know where weare-and yet Iknow that creature's language."Jeff looked down at the dinosaur and suddenly realized that she was softlylicking his left ear with her warm, dry tongue.He went over backward, and shetumbled out of his lap.She got to her feet and unfurled the leathery ridgeson each side of her back spines."Wings!" Jeff choked."She's got wings! She's a pterodactyl or something.""Nonsense," said Norby."Any fool can see that she's a dragon.""Dragons are mythical beasts.""Not here.""What makes you so sure? You don't even know where 'here' is.""I think part of me knows, but I can't tune in to it.I'm sorry, Jeff.I'm somixed up, I think I ought to be destroyed.""Not before you get us back.And even then, I won't let anyone destroy you.But get us back, Norby.It's important.""Don't get mad, Jeff, but I'm having a little trouble figuring out how.I mayhave moved far out of the Terran Solar System.If only I could remember wherethis was! Part of me seems to have been here before, or why would I dream ofit?""You know [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
