a man for another planet

i have just arived on the planet bumbaya.
i want to go for a walk its not a big planet but i want to see if any one lives on it.
I walked for 5 miles and reached a man sitting under a tree playing the bongos.
"hello mister, is this your planet?"
he answers in a calm, smoothing voice " yes son it is, now what are you doing on it."
i said " well..."
he replied "my name is jooba."
"well juba it is a short story, i live on the planet next door, siemonda, but its a cold, wet and i wanted to go for a walk so, i came here."
he looks around and says " well its sure nice here today, you may walk all you want."
i started to walk away and the man looked up at the sky with a sad face.
i turned back and sat next to him.
i wanted to know the mans life story, he seemed to want to tell it to.
we talked about now hes lonely and would want some company some times. i promised i would come over more and we could talk. he told me the place is only 36 miles around. i couldnt wait to walk it.
