Youth is a science fiction novelette by Isaac Asimov. It first
appeared in the May 1952 issue of Space Science Fiction and was
reprinted in the 1955 collection The Martian Way and Other Stories.
Youth is one of the rare Asimov stories with alien characters. Slim is
a boy whose astronomer father is visiting the country estate of an
important industrialist. The industrialist's son, Red, has found two
strange animals, and he enlists Slim in a plan to turn the animals
into a circus act. The astronomer, meanwhile, tells the industrialist
that he has been in contact with space aliens who want to open up
their world to interstellar trade. Their world needs help, the
astronomer says; for ever since the atomic wars that destroyed their
old civilization, their world has been regressing. Unless something is
done, their culture may face total collapse.
