There the simple Mexican saw a great shining machine unlike anything he had ever seen. It was shaped like two huge soup plates joined together at the outer edge. The top was a small dome with round windows in it. The entrie machine, about forty feet in diameter, stood on three giant metal landing balls. As they approached, a faint sound started to come from within the machine and a lower part of it opened outwards to form a short flight of stairs up which the two men walked into the machine. At the top of the steps they turned and one said, "Would you like to come inside with us?" Salvador could only shake his head. He thought of this wife, his seven children, his home, his job...all the things he knew and loved suddenly seemed important to him. He turned and ran as fast as he could. When he reached the road he was out of breath.
