Mike
loved
opening
the
harmless
packages
;
it
made
every
day
Christmas
for
him
.
He
particularly
enjoyed
reading
his
own
name
on
address
labels
.
The
plunder
inside
might
or
might
not
interest
him
;
usually
he
gave
it
to
one
of
the
others
–
and
,
in
the
process
,
at
last
learned
what
"
property
"
was
in
discovering
that
he
could
make
gifts
to
his
friends
.
Anything
that
nobody
wanted
wound
up
in
a
gully
;
this
included
,
by
definition
,
all
gifts
of
food
,
as
Jubal
was
not
certain
that
Mike
’
s
nose
for
"
wrongness
"
extended
to
poisons
–
especially
after
Mike
had
drunk
,
through
error
,
a
beaker
of
a
poisonous
solution
Duke
had
left
in
the
refrigerator
he
used
for
his
photographic
work
.
Mike
had
simply
said
mildly
that
the
"
Iced
tea
"
had
a
flavor
he
was
not
sure
that
he
liked
.
Jubal
told
him
that
it
was
otherwise
all
right
to
keep
anything
that
came
to
Mike
by
parcel
post
provided
that
none
of
it
was
(
a
)
ever
paid
for
,
(
b
)
ever
acknowleged
,
(
c
)
nor
ever
returned
no
matter
how
marked
.
Some
of
the
items
were
legitimatly
gifts
;
more
of
it
was
unordered
merchandise
.
Either
way
,
Jubal
assumed
conclusively
that
unsolicited
chattels
from
strangers
always
represented
efforts
to
make
use
of
the
Man
from
Mars
and
therefore
merited
no
thanks
.
An
exception
was
made
for
live
stock
,
from
baby
chicks
to
baby
alligators
which
Jubal
advised
her
to
return
unless
she
was
willing
to
guarantee
the
care
and
feeding
thereof
,
and
the
responsibility
of
keeping
same
from
falling
into
the
pool
.
First
class
mail
was
a
separate
headache
.
After
looking
over
a
bushel
or
so
of
Mike
’
s
first
class
mail
Jubal
set
up
a
list
of
categories
:
A
.
Begging
letters
,
personal
and
institutional
–
erosion
fill
.
B
.
Threatening
letters
–
file
unanswered
.
Second
and
later
letters
from
any
one
source
to
be
turned
over
to
S
.
S
.
C
.
Offers
of
business
deals
of
any
nature
forward
to
Douglas
unanswered
.
D
.
Crackpot
letters
not
containing
threat
–
pass
around
any
real
dillies
;
the
rest
to
go
in
a
gully
.
E
.
Friendly
letters
–
answer
only
if
accompanied
by
stamped
,
self
-
addressed
envelope
,
in
which
case
use
one
of
several
form
letters
to
be
signed
by
Jill
(
Jubal
pointed
out
that
letters
signed
by
the
Man
from
Mars
were
valuable
per
se
,
and
an
open
invitation
to
more
useless
mail
.
