No need to spell that out, Pete thinks. Every child knows never to speak to the Greens. An easy rule to follow. The Greens keep to themselves.
Then a Green turns up in the yard with a strange object. The Green wants something. They refuse to leave until Pete figures it out.
And Pete always strives to be neighborly.
"Beingly Neighborly", a science fiction short story originally published in Analog magazine.
