Laokoon

A science-fiction story about a group of cosmonauts who land on a distant planet. There, they find strange eggs which hide in their shells what the cosmonauts long for: enormous wealth. While they are getting ready to take off, one egg captures a cosmonaut, who suffocates in its tentacles- just as Laocoon was killed by snakes in the old Greek myth. The spaceship takes off for the earth. Above the cosmonauts, tentacles break through the eggshells.
