"When he opened the bag, hundreds of dragonflies flew out."

Joseph handled the paper bag very carefully. He had given his last dollar for this "pig in a poke" gift bag at the county fair. Joseph had never, ever done such a thing before, not that he had no curiosity to see what was in them - his friend always had this one little game - but because he was a miser. Joseph's favorite saying was "a penny saved is a penny earned". But for some inscrutable reason, he had done it this time. Something inside told him that this bag was going to be special. Joseph also did not normally listen to such urgings from his Id - in fact, he didn't even believe in an Id. But, he was down to his last dollar and he didn't know what he could or would do from now on, without a job or any prospects. He was now one of those "homeless" people that others liked to make fun of, having been laid off two days earlier. So Joseph took his sack out to the open field where no-one else could overlook his discovery. And then he held his bag on his lap as he sat on a rock. When he opened the bag, hundreds of dragonflies flew out. Quicker than Joseph could imagine, several swallow-type birds began to gobble up the dragonflies. Joseph was both amazed and flustered at the same time. It was a great show, and yet, there went his last dollar on a whim!

It was lonely out here, orbiting alongside a stalled space probe. Where was a discussion as to where they were going to sell it when they got back to Earth? The antiquities police had stepped up their apprehensions of anyone seeking to capitalize on historical pieces of early exploration. Already someone had absconded with Neil Armstrongs flag planted on the Moon's surface. Jake found it hard to concentrate in the cubicle of his cabin. He had wanted to hunt more, but the silly ditty about my beautiful balloon was blasting through the walls. The girls were acting silly so he left them alone. Pygmies iin space could wait another day.
