Looking for the title of an RB short story

Years ago I read a very good short story by Ray Bradbury about a young girl who was asked to help an old woman while her old husband was away on a trip. Every evening the young girl was asked to look under the furniture to see if there was anyone or anything there. One evening she saw an illuminated screen and some people from another planet beckoning to the old woman. It turned out that the old couple were really young people temporarily trapped inside old bodies while visiting Earth, and anxiously waiting to leave those burdensome bodies and rejoin their friends in the other world. I want to share this short story with some friends. But, unfortunately, I can't remember the title. If anyone could tell me the title, I would be grateful.

I go with 5% Bradbury, 95% not Bradbury. What say others?

I would agree with that!
