I like this story. I may be remembering wrong, but the version I remember was much shorter, with the astronaut finding a small slab, with an eating booth, shower stall and sleeping bench. He thought he could modify it to suit his needs. Instead the oasis changes him. Does anyone else remember a version like that?
The story as recounted in the article is just as you say: he tries to get it to give him food and water but the solution the village comes up with is to transform him into a Martian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.37.99.86 (talk) 15:50, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
