"You know Galileo's theory of dropping stuffs?" Zil asked.

"Yeah," Kit said. "What about it?"

"I've never understood it," Zil said. "Can we try it out?"

"Sure," Izzy said. I have a bowling ball and a ping-pong ball here; let's drop them off this cliff."

"But what about - hey look! A butterfly!" Wilwa said, laughing at the irony of Wilwa being distracted by a butterfly.

"And...drop!" Izzy said.

"Ow!" Boro said, as both the bowling and ping-pong balls fell on his head. "Izzy, what did you do??"

"Sorry?" she said. "Hey! You're getting furry!"

"What?" Boro yelped. "Oh, man! I must be dying. Well, then, I'll just kill you, too!"

"Eep!" Izzy said, and died.

"Hey, I'm not dead yet," Boro said.

So Elfie pushed him back off the cliff, just to be sure.

"Okay," he said. "Now I'm dead."

"Science is dangerous," Pitchie said.

"But I get it now," Zil said.
