Foundling on Venus

Venus was the most miserable planet in the system, peopled by miserable excuses for human beings. And somewhere among this conglomeration of boiling protoplasm there was a being unlike the others, a being who walked and talked like the others but who was different—and afraid the difference would be discovered. You'll remember this short story. The foundling could not have been more than three years old. Yet he held a secret that was destined to bring joy to many unhappy people.
