"The Native Soil" by Alan Edward Nourse is a science fiction story that unfolds on the planet Venus, where Piper Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is struggling to harness the planet's rich resources. The story centers around the arrival of Robert Kielland, who is sent to investigate the failing operations and the strange behavior of the native Venusians, considered simple creatures by the Earthmen. As Kielland grapples with bizarre incidents and baffling logistical problems caused by the natives, he starts to question the Earthmen's shallow understanding of the Mud-pups. The journey leads Kielland to discover that the natives are far more intelligent and deeply connected to the Venusian environment, prompting a shift from exploitation to cooperation as the humans learn the true potential of the planet's resources.
