It was the end of October. Ellen and Harl were walking through the trees. He was going to goto a journey. Ellen can't go because she is afraid of living in a small space ship. She needs to see trees and flowers, feel the wind on her face. Harl's space journey is going to take themselves eight years. He will be away hundred years in Earth time.
Harl thinks that when he will return he can marry with Ellen's great great granddaughter. And they can call their great daughter name Ellen.
But Ellen said that no one would want to live with Harl because he will be stranger than a wild animal in a zoo and the world will be a very different place at that time.
They must leave Earth in 2029 and return in 2129.
