The Vilbar Party

Nuts to you! was what Narli knew Earthmen would tell him...only it was frismil nuts!

The Perzils are giving a vilbar party tomorrow night, Professor Slood said cajolingly. "You will come this time, won’t you, Narli?"

Narli Gzann rubbed his forehead fretfully. You know how I feel about parties, Karn. He took a frismil nut out of the tray on his desk and nibbled it in annoyance.
