A small crowd was approaching Moptop's ranch, and he wasn't sure why. He leaned back in his rocking chair and noticed a small object in the sky, which was approaching quickly and steadily. Squinting into the sun, Moptop realized that it was a small airplane.
The plane touched down quite close to the ranchhouse--enough to make Moptop rather nervous--but it skidded neatly to a stop just before the front porch. The hatch opened and revealed the pilot to be none other than Pon Raul.
The crowd had obviously gathered to hear Pon Raul speak, so Moptop offered his porch as a platform for the speech.
Dr. Raul warmed the crowd up with a few jokes about grasshoppers.
