- Scene: a small-town school-house, the teacher's office, after class.
-
- "Mr. Brown? You asked me to stay after class?"
-
- "Yes, Clark. I want to talk to you about that assignment you turned in late."
-
- "Oh ..."
-
- "Yes. That was an interesting excuse that you wrote on the top of the page.
- 'Had to recopy when the original burned up on re-entry.'"
-
- "Mr. Brown, I can explain ..."
-
- "No need, no need!" Mr. Brown laughs. "Quite an imagination you have there,
- Clark. Have you thought about going into journalism?"
