Foundling on Venus

A sweet story of a three-year-old found in the mud beside the road by a waitress on a hellish 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. The foundling could not have been more than three years old.
