Will Long and Pong become Earthlings?

It is said that a planet called Soft Stone will turn into a block of ice in 100 years. The aliens of Soft Stone sent messages to Earth and other planets, asking for help to migrate. They've promised to help other planets with their three exceptional skills: the best transformation skill to survive anywhere, the best peace tactics in the universe, and excellent science and technology. 

The people of Earth decide to take a vote, saying that they like to make decisions with the consensus of the people. Thus, a talk show with aliens is broadcast live to the world. Can Long and Pong pass the strict vetting by the people of Earth and become Earthlings? 

What do earthlings wonder about and want from Long and Pong?

People first ask Long and Pong to show them the most potent transformation skill in the universe. Round-shaped Long and Pong quickly transform into human figures with long arms, legs, and torsos. Earthlings say they don't like their skin, eyes, and hair color and decide on new colors by popular vote. The next question is about how the aliens will help Earth’s people. When Long and Pong talk about their best peace tactics and scientific technology, the people of Earth get excited about their plans to use the technology to go to another planet and build a colony.

Lastly, the Earthlings observe the daily life of Long and Pong. Tired, Long wants to rest while Pong cooks; Earthlings interrupt, saying that every task should be divided equally, and order them to cook together. Finally, the voting is over. How does the vote turn out? Will Earthlings accept Long and Pong?

About the hope that we can live with respect for each other in a world full of prejudice and hatred

Earthlings’ questions and live chat comments reflect the current state of society. We do not realize how much prejudice occupies our thoughts and actions. In response to a sensitive issue, we speak as if we are right and are hostile towards those with a different view. 

The Soft Stone aliens acknowledge each other's differences without trying to force change. They share what they have and borrow what they lack as they live together. It is the opposite of Earthlings who try to change anything they don’t like so they can have more without sacrificing anything. 

What can we do to avoid being left alone in this world? We need to become people who understand and care about others and keep our own values separate from societal prejudices. This book shares the hope that change can begin now.
