   (Also reminds me of a children's book from the '50s - '60s that I found   
   once upon a time; that had Earth colonists landing on an inhospitable   
   and seemingly-deserted Mars, only for their children to meet a couple   
   Martian children, who along with the rest of their civilization have   
   retreated to underground cavern-cities or something to that effect.   
   I've never managed to track it down since...)
