Golden Record

‘Hello from the children of planet earth’

‘Go Johnny go, go!’

‘Ribbit!’

‘beep beep beepidip beep…’

‘Muah!’

‘Hahaha!’

The record rotated at the prescribed speed of 3.6 seconds per rotation. They crowded around it, listening.

One grunted, ‘They call themselves homo sapiens.’

His neighbour grunted back, ‘Sapience?’

‘Sadly none!’
