I have known the stolen Stoli for 49 years, in fact just today (August 15, the day the original post was written in Hebrew). he arrived in the neighborhood. Zvi claims that we have both known him longer. When we were younger, one day a 'magician's circus' came to the neighborhood, it wasn't exactly a circus, there wasn't even a tent for the magician that stood in the middle of an empty lot that was then in the neighborhood, very close to our houses. But he had a very long magic wand and a dwarf helper who stood by him and helped him with the juggling. I don't remember exactly all the magician's tricks, but I remember that at a certain moment the magician introduced his assistant 'It's time for you to meet my assistant, his name is Elik, he is a very good, loyal and dedicated assistant who has been serving me for years, but what? He is alone all the time. What do you think, I'm a wizard, right? So you say, I can't help him? What do you say, can or can't? Of course I can, I'll make him a friend. I don't remember if those were the exact words, but I remember the magic where the wizard took the stick and said 'I will turn this stick into a man, and he will be a friend to my faithful assistant, Elik'.
The magician raised the stick in the air, made a few movements with it, and…suddenly indeed, there was a man there, very tall, skinny and bald. 'Please meet' the magician announced to the sound of applause 'the pair: Elik and Makelik. (Makel מקל – the Hebrew word for stick) The two wizards accompanying me, the dwarf and the long one'. Zvi is still convinced to this day that the long, 'Makelik' one is "the stolen" Stoli, who came to our neighborhood after a few years and joined the gang, if not to say created it.
I don't know if Zvi is right, but if so, then the stolen Stoli is older than it always seems, maybe even older than חפא. Because that long one seemed to me then to be the same age as the magician, who seemed to me to be 'very old' while the stolen Stoli seemed ageless, always when asked he said 'I am a thousand years old' but he always looked close to our age, except that he is really long and bald.
חפא should be 74 years old today, if he is still alive. When he came to us he was 27 years old, even though the years of space probably made him ageless too, we immediately treated him as older than us (even though the average age difference between us and him was only 11 years), there was something in his face covered with a black-brown beard that made him 'adult' and maybe actually It was the space years (not so many) that made him ancient, rich in cosmic experience that was transmitted to us wherever we were present with him.
Over the years, especially since חפא returned to Israel for the second time, his gray hair and face looked older. The stolen Stoli did not have gray hair, because he doesn't have any, and even today it is hard to think that he is more than 70 years old, and maybe even more.
In fact, the first nickname we called the stolen Stoli was 'Antenna', also because one of the places he lived in was a building known, I think since the time of the British Mandate, as the 'Antenna Building', also because it is so long and also because he was constantly busy installing antennas, At first he said they were radio antennas, in order to receive stations from abroad that were not received well in Israel. We heard the BBC, (the British chart) and other charts from Europe, and he also helped some of us whose radios were not strong enough to receiveThe 'Voice of Peace' station, of his close friend, according to him, Abie Natan, who broadcast from a ship somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea.

Then he also had telepathic antennas, and through these antennas also came the transmissions from space, like the transmissions that told us about Planet N. The interesting thing is that the first transmissions from חפא, about a year after the stolen Stoli came to us, did not reach us through these antennas.
Over the years the stolen Stoli believed, and he still believes, that he is in demand, because of the abilities and reception techniques that only he knows, and because of the things he did 'to promote communication between the worlds'. The authorities don't like it, he says, almost nobody likes it. חפא and he, both were busy all these years hiding and preparing hiding places, but each of them talked about it a little differently. חפא spoke about the Federation, it seems that he feared elements within it more than he feared the 'Earth forces' which he despised. Stoli talked about bodies on Earth, and refused the definitions we gave it, like MIB that Zvi gave. Stoli wasn't around when we analyzed the big organizations or the politics of world order or disorder. If we found ourselves talking about it when he was around, he would disconnect from us to his headphones and the cigarettes, it just didn't interest him. When he was asked by whom he was actually wanted, he said 'who isn't, everyone' and once said 'it's something that has no name'.
But חפא had to appear before people, to lecture. This was his mission in the world, so he took risks, and I and Zvi also believe that he had the necessary connections in the relevant organizations, who reported to him when to be careful and where to be. Stoli had no such commitments, so we never knew in advance when and where we would meet him and where he disappeared to when we didn't see him. חפא undoubtedly knew more, Stoli also always helped him in 'safeguarding' the places to be. We didn't know exactly what this 'security' included, at least I didn't know.
The stolen Stoli hardly talks to people these days and my meetings with him in recent years are few, usually unexpected. 'His thefts are sealed' says Zvi, especially since the meeting in Herzliya of 'sחפא student groups, about a month after Stoli returned alone from the journey with חפא.
