Of course, there were seven other sodas, too. I don't mean that I drank
seven more. But mine is the best one to end with, because I always go
right down to the bottom of the glass. The bottom is the only thing that
stops me.
So that's the way it is with this story. It has a happy ending. It bunks
right into the bottom of the glass. The plot is all cleared up. So is the
glass. There's nothing left to tell--or to drink.
Harry Donnelle said if I didn't look out I'd scrape the polish off the
glass with my spoon. I should worry, a scout is thorough. So long.
