Who is in that hole!?

​As the spaceship approached Rhea on the near side of it, Jeremio already orbited around to the far side. The aliens landed on Rhea and were about to start the search when an alien suggested the only problem was that they had to go in different directions so they might get lost.

Suddenly, a wise alien had an idea. "After a day, we will meet where you can see Saturn right on your head."

"Fellow Aliens," he began; "Rhea is special. When you look up from where you're standing NOW, you will see Saturn perfectly on top of your head. Don't worry. I'm a 100% sure, you could even leave all your things here, and when you come back don't be surprised to find them just where you left them."

"Why why why?" asked the aliens. The wise alien spoke up, "I will tell you when I prove it to you."

Then all the aliens spread out like a flock of pigeons to search all over Rhea.

After 23 hours passed, the aliens were already waiting where Saturn was on top of their heads. And surprisingly, they also found all their things there!

After exactly an hour passed, the wise alien approached. He started "It is really hard to explain, but all I can tell you is that it works like Earth and its moon." He marked an X on the ground with his finger. "Saturn always faces this X," he continued. All the aliens now understood.

After the excitement calmed down… Oops! They had forgotten all about why they were on Rhea! Then the fuss started again. "Did you find him?" "No, I didn't." Another said, "Not even track of him." Another said, "I only found this rock."

At last, the little alien said in a whispery voice "I think it's time for us to leave."

The moment the spaceship took off, there was a peeping sound. They looked up. It was coming from an ice when an alien exclaimed, "I never knew before there was ice orbiting Rhea!"

Then there was an SOS signal. Then again. Then again. That was when the peeping sound got quieter and quieter until there was nothing but silence. So, they decided to figure out what was going on by going up by spaceship to investigate.

They flew up to the ice but found no sign of any living soul. But suddenly, the lonely little alien said, "Wait a minute…" He realized the peeping sound was not just an SOS, but it was a tune that Jeremio liked to hum at the party on Venus! So, he asked the spaceship to send the exact same peeping sound back.

And to everyone's astonishment, a green head popped out of a hole! It was Jeremio! He decided to hide in the hole when he saw the spaceship approaching, as he could not tell if the spaceship was a friend's or an enemy's [his crystal ball did not help him].

All the aliens were speechless at first. When an alien clapped, then another, then before they knew it, all the aliens were clapping and cheering. They welcomed Jeremio on board.

And together they took off on the long journey back to Venus…
