The tiny creatures cowered between the to them huge plants. Smoke and flames were all around them for some distance as their spaceship burned. What were they to do now?

'Quickly men, 'said one. 'pass this along to the others. Each of you climb up a stem and hang on.'
As the order was passed along, each creature did as he or she was told. Struggling to just below the beans, they each managed to settle amongst the leaves and waited. It was dark apart from the light from the flames and the moon and stars in the night sky.
