            unusual and terribly beautiful.

                  He emanated a feeling of enigmatic distant Space and something else which my
            brain of a little child was unable to grasp then...
                  The creature lifted his hand with the palm turned toward us and mentally said:

                  – I am Ales [elei]. You are not ready to come, go back.
                  Naturally, at once I was eager to know who he was and wanted to retain him
            somehow, if  only for a little while.
                  – Not ready for what? – I asked as calmly as I could.

                  – To come home. – He answered.
                  The unbelievable might (as it seemed to me then), and at the same time a strange
            deep  warmth  of  loneliness  came  from  him.  I  wished  him  never  to  go  away  and
            suddenly I became so sad that I was on the verge of bursting into tears.

                  – You will come back, – he pronounced in response to my sad thoughts. – It will
            be much later, however. And now – go.
                  His halo became brighter and to my huge regret he disappeared.
                  The sparkling enormous "spiral" shone for some time and then began to scatter
            and fully thawed, leaving the deep night behind it.

                  Stella at last "came to" from the shock and everything around began to shine with
            merry light, hugging us with fairy-tale flowers and multicoloured birds which her
            incredible imagination hurried to create, most likely, wishing to be rid, as quickly as
            possible, of the oppressive impression of eternity which leaned heavily on us.
                  –  Do you think it was me? – I whispered, still unable to believe in what just
            happened.

                  – Of course! – The girl twittered in a merry voice. – It was what you wanted, was
            not it? It was so huge and frightful, though very beautiful. I would not want to live
            there, not for the world! – She confidently declared.
                  But I could not forget that incredibly-enormous and attractively-majestic beauty
            which, I knew for certain, would become my dream forever, and the desire to return
            there some day will pursue me for long, long years, until one fine day I shall find my
            real and lost HOME at last.
                  – Why  are  you  sad?  You’ve  done  it  just  splendidly!  –  Stella  exclaimed  in
            surprise. – Do want me to show you something else?

                  She wrinkled her nose in a conspiratorial way, after which she looked like a
            funny little monkey.
                  Again everything turned upside down, "landing" us in a madly-bright "parrot-
            like" world where thousands of birds chirped loudly and incessantly. My head began
            to spin because of this terrible cacophony.

                  – Ooops! – Stella laughed, tinkling like a bell, – not like that!
                  Pleasant  silence  came  at  once.  We  "misbehaved"  together  for  a  long  time,
            creating funny, merry and fairy-tale worlds by turns, which in reality did not appear
            so difficult. I could not tear myself away from this unearthly beauty and the crystal-
            clean amazing girl Stella who carried warm and merry light within herself and with
