A giddy excited
child hops up to me and inserts the shiny disc, and puts his hand on the
joystick. As the cheesy music turns on, I jiggle around the upper half of the
machine, looking into the depths of stuffed animals' eyes. The kid walks around
the contraption excitedly trying to get the best angle and then with one final
look, presses the button and watches me fall down and down and down. When I get
to the end of my reach, I close my grip and start to ascend. When I pop out of
the jumble a brown teddy bear is in my grasp. I return to my starting position
and let go of the child's new possession. Boy, does he look happy that he has
mastered my game. What do you think I am?
