Title: Doing the Right Thing
Review: The aliens arrive on Earth a real long time ago ... Urg and Oog the Neanterthals don't really appreciate them. Their space ship crashes and they are stuck. But wait! They have this injectable medication that puts them into sleep deeper than a Bear in the Woods. Hey Guys! Let's Make a Secret Cave With a Big Steel Door! Yeaaaaaaa! Time for one last meal of cold alien space gruel and then: "Quick! The Needle! -- Perchance to Sleep, To Dream, To Awake?". Along comes the wilderness fishing MD who happens to break his leg and find the cave. Aliens awake, nurse him back to health, teach him their language, help him get back to a laboratory, and finally allow him to join them in their next Little-Big Sleep to wait out the development of spaceships. The story is a mite bit shallow but the moral teaching is the point. Do the Right Thing and you will be rewarded. I have liked this story since it was first published and if you like medium-hard SF you will too.
