If You Was a MOKLIN, by Murray Leinster (1896 - 1975)

This project is in our catalog at https://librivox.org/if-you-was-a-moklin-by-murray-leinster/

Volunteers outside the USA: Murray Leinster died in 1975. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 70 years for authors who died after 1971; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
Moklins are the friendliest aliens humans ever encountered. They LOVE humans, and want to imitate them in every way they can. And evolution on Moklin is very helpful in this regard. After 40 years on Moklin, the only humans on the planet enjoy the friendship of these helpful 'people'. There might be one little problem though. Just a tiny thing that will cause the humans to leave in a very big hurry. Not that it will do any good of course. - Summary by phil chenevert

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Yes! this is a funny story that you will love. Plus, I get to read it in dialect which I love. :thumbs:

EDIT: I have volunteered to BC the next Short SF Collection; something I've never done before so it's kinda scary. You, being sweet as you are, might consider being the DPL for it. Just a thought. ,....... :roll:
