The Kind Wisdom of Children
there is an axfield where children are playing lumber jax. the ax is in suszy's hand and suddenly the whole tree falls down. all the children clap and dance, apply a sponge to the tree to dry it out, and then chop it up with their axes and make a fire. they dance around the fire to new religions and superstition. they sacrifice oxen on a clay altar to ask for another ripe harvest. as they are face to face with death, they make a pact on which they'll never go back: to collapse the economy through the flying car industry ad make a fortune. they dance another routine later that evening and come up with new words to describe that reckless, childish feeling.
