Question

Write another letter from Skander to Pen Pal, outlining what has happened in the intervening years. What is your present situation ? What are your thoughts ? What are your plans for the immediate future ?

(NB : Decide : Are you the “original Skander” or the “New Skander” ?)

Answer 1

We are giving here two letters. First is written by new Skander and second by original Skander.
(i) Dear Pen Pal

You will be amazed to receive my letter after five years Well, there has not happened anything special in the  intervening period. Life has been going on as usual. I enjoyed. at first, my coming over to Aurigae IL But it  was not for long.

As regards my present situation, I am still in jail . I have tried my level best to correspond with other planets  But I have not yet got the knowledge of how to do it Doing experiments without the mental capability and  knowledge is as useless as trying to swim without knowing how to.

At present. I have neither any plan nor any new thoughts. In fact, life has become a hell in jail I am in your  body but my mind and thoughts are of an Earth's man .. So there is no compat ibility between them. I am not  confident of doing any successful experiments without the knowledge equal to that of yours. Thus I am  really trapped for ever in your body. I can't transfer myself because I have no knowledge of it However, all  facilit ies about equipments and laboratories exist here. You played a trick but didn't think what would  happen. Now it has happened. We both are to suffer long.

Skander

(ii) Dear Skander
I hope you recollect something about me that happened five years before.

You may be startled to know that I am in a very bad condition. While I was there on Aurigae, the Earth  sounded exciting But it is not now At first, everything looked fascinating. But soon I found that my mind  was not compatible with the body. There. then, startecl a series of troubles. I suffered the weaknesses of the  body. Some time there was an acute pain in it due to some injury

Really my thoughts have remained imprisoned for ever. I have, you know, a very active mind. But it can't do anything for me. It is because I have no equipment and no facilities of laboratories here. So my future plans  are nothing If there is anything here, it is the tale of suffering and suffering In this way, my future is bleak.  How I regret my curiosity to tour the world 1 I am waiting only to die because I just st ruggle to live here.  Really, the earth is a strange place and human body another strange thing.
