“Whew! That was close!” Steve breathed. “For him and us, too!”
“My heart is still thumping like a drum!” Bobby said.
As for Sue, she was too upset to say anything at all.
They turned to look at the fireworks to take their minds off the accident. The wonderful ending of the show almost made them forget it completely.
They saw a dazzling white light burst like an empty volcano. The banner of fire rose as high into the sky as huge Saturn. Then it spilled over like a great fountain. It changed into purple, then blue, green and red.
Before dying out, it gave the big planet a lovely ruddy glow, showing up its rings like a gleaming necklace of rubies. That was the end of Nature’s grand performance.
“Wow, wasn’t that terrific?” Steve asked. “A show like that in a grandstand on Earth would cost you three-and-a-half.”
“Maybe four!” Sue chimed in.
“You can’t see this show anywhere on Earth, Steve,” Bobby said. “Titan is the only place. And the good thing about it is that it’s all for free!”
