The alien society has based its social structure on a false reading of an ancient fresco covered in centuries of accumulated dirt. Cleaning the fresco threatens to destroy the society, which is based on the idea that each person has one and only one appropriate social role. On the basis of tradition outweighing truth, the fresco is repainted to reflect the traditional version. The Earth gains a eutopia of civility.</p>},
