　　The crazy alchemist

�

��� The alchemist had always been alienated from his peers because of his alarming theories. Only the most alternative universities were willing to allocate small allowances to him to further research his ideas. When he found evidence of aliens living in the highest altitude mountains of the world, he was recognized as an all-round failure. It was therore even more unfortunate that he was right,

������The alchemist ignored&apos the further alienation and built an alliance of extremists to get physical proof of the alien and to alter the world&aposs view of his theory. When they returned with photos and video of the alien he was sure he would walk down many aisles to claim international awards and financial allocations to test all of his other theories. However, this proof did nothing to alleviate the concerns of his peers that he was truly insane.

������When the alchemist was alerted that the aliens were coming down from the mountains and alighting on the roofs of buildings his peers still did not believe what he alleged. When an alien finally walked into the conference room everything changed. In addition to being named chi ambassador to the aliens, the alchemist was allotted more honor than he had ever dreamed. All of his dreams had come true.

������The aliens unfortunately suddenly developed an allergy for human beings and started dying. The alchemist found that they were allergic to human hair, developed a cure, and saved the aliens. Now he was the hero of the galaxy!

　　疯狂的炼金术士

�

��� 由于这位炼金术士提出的理论令人惊恐，他总是被同僚们疏远。只有最另类的大学肯拨小额的津贴让他进一步研究他的思想。当他找到证据证明世界上海拔最高的山上有外星人居住时，他被认为是个全面的失败者。而更为不幸的是，他居然是对的。

����� 炼金术士没有理会人们对他的进一步疏远，他成立了一个极端分子联盟，以寻找外星人存在的真凭实据，借此改变世人对他的理论的看法。当他们带回外星人的照片和录影带时，他确信他将走过许多条过道领取各种国际大奖和拨款，这样一来他就能证明他提出的所有其他理论了。然而，这一证据并没有减少同僚们的担心，他们认为他的确是疯了。

����� 当炼金术士注意到外星人正从山上下来并且降落在屋顶上时，同僚们还是不相信他的断言。最后一个外星人走进了会议室，一切才发生了改变。炼金术士不仅被任命为首席驻外星大使，而且还被给予了超出他梦想的殊荣。他所有的梦想都变成了现实。

������不幸的是，外星人突然开始对人类过敏起来并且开始死亡。炼金术士发现他们对人类的毛发过敏，于是研制了一种解药，拯救了外星人。现在他成了星系英雄!
