1 " He dabbed at his tuxedo with a damp rag, and the fungi came away easily. " Hate to do this, Bill," he said of the fungi he was murdering. " Fungi have as much right to life as I do. they know what they want, Bill. Damned if I do anymore." Then he thought about what Bill himself might want. It was easy to guess. " Bill," he said, " I like you so much, and I am such a big shot in the Universe, that I will make your three biggest wishes come true."
