Clay swears that his home, Lulungameena, is the most beautiful planet in the universe. He is saving money to go home, money which a young punk at Station 563 aims to win off of him. But Clay won't gamble.
Enter a scaley alien called a Hixabrod, a race that is incapable of lying. Seizing an opportunity, the young punk picks a fight with Clay over which home planet is the most beautiful, with the Hixabrod to serve as an impartial and honest judge. The punk counts on winning this fight because he knows something about Clay's home planet that Clay does not. But then, maybe Clay has some inside information of his own.
Read it in Galaxy magazine, January 1954.
