Aliens telepathically instruct a boy on how to build a rocket to their planet. When he arrives, they interview him about what life is like on Earth. After hearing about wars, crime and misery, they tell him that humans are not yet ready to explore space and bid him return to Earth where he forgets the entire experience.
