The Box of Truth
Ron glared at him intensely and then Bill turned into a box of rocks.
They, however, were not rubbery rocks. Ron then continued to stand upon his
podium and look out across Ed as if he were not there at all. Ed looked at
him as if he weren't there at all either, and walked towards the box of rocks
previously known as Wally.
"Hey, Wally," said Ed.
The box of rocks looked sadly up at Ed and didn't say a whole lot back.
Ed thought he heard a slightly dissatisfied grunt come from the box, but he
wasn't sure. Who would want to be a box of rubbery rocks. Actually as Ed
looked at him he realized they were fake rubber rocks. They were actually
Styrofoam.
Then Ed strode over the box that had once been Bill. It was also an
unhappy little box of rocks.
"Bill," said Ed, "I know you probably aren't going to appreciate this,
but I'm going to look for a cool souvenir of you to take home and remember
you by."
Ed reached into the box and started rooting around for a neat looking
rock. He soon found that the box was deeper than it looked. Rather than
being a foot cube, it was about that at the top, but 10 feet deep, and seemed
to widen out into a cavern. So after tossing a few of the less interesting
rocks out of the box he climbed in.
