〃Dont　get　mad；〃　Norman　warned。　〃Stay　calm。〃

I　AM　LIKING　THAT　ONE　HARRY。　DO　AN　OTHER。

Norman　thought：　Is　he　reading　emotions？　Does　he　regard　our　emotions　as　manifestations？　But　that　didnt　make　sense。　Jerry　couldnt　read　their　minds；　theyd　already　determined　that。　Maybe　hed　better　check　again。　Jerry；　he　thought；　can　you　hear　me？

I　AM　LIKING　HARRY。　HIS　MANIFESTATIONS　ARE　RED。　THEY　ARE　WITFUL。

〃Witful？〃

WITFUL　=　FULL　OF　WIT？

〃I　see；〃　Harry　said。　〃He　thinks　were　funny。〃

FUNNY　=　FULL　OF　FUN？

〃Not　exactly；〃　Norman　said。　〃We　entities　have　the　concept　of　。。。〃　He　trailed　off。　How　was　he　going　to　explain　〃funny〃？　What　was　a　joke；　anyway？　〃We　entities　have　the　concept　of　a　situation　which　causes　disfort　and　we　call　this　situation　humorous。〃

HUME　OR　US？

〃No。　One　word。〃　Norman　spelled　it　for　him。

I　SEE。　YOUR　MANIFESTATIONS　ARE　HUMOROUS。　THE　ENTITY　SQUID　MAKES　MANY　HUMOROUS　MANIFESTATIONS　FROM　YOU。

〃We　dont　think　so；〃　Harry　said。

I　THINK　SO。

And　that　about　summed　it　up；　Norman　thought；　sitting　at　the　console。　Somehow　he　had　to　make　Jerry　understand　the　seriousness　of　his　actions。　〃Jerry；〃　Norman　＇＇261＇＇　explained；　〃your　manifestations　injure　our　entities。　Some　of　our　entities　are　already　gone。〃

YES　I　KNOW。

〃If　you　continue　your　manifestations…〃

YES　I　AM　LIKING　TO　MANIFEST。　IT　IS　HUMOROUS　FOR　YOU。

〃…then　pretty　soon　all　our　entities　will　be　gone。　And　then　there　will　be　no　one　to　talk　to　you。〃

I　DO　NOT　WISH　THAT。

〃I　know　that。　But　many　entities　are　gone　already。〃

BRING　THEM　BACK。

〃We　cant　do　that。　They　are　gone　forever。〃

WHY？

〃We　cannot　bring　them　back。〃

WHY？

Just　like　a　kid；　Norman　thought。　Just　exactly　like　a　kid。　Telling　the　kid　you　cant　do　what　he　wants；　you　cant　play　the　way　he　wants　to　play；　and　he　refuses　to　accept　it。

〃We　do　not　have　the　power；　Jerry；　to　bring　them　back。〃

I　WISH　YOU　TO　BRING　THE　OTHER　ENTITIES　BACK　NOW。

〃He　thinks　were　refusing　to　play；〃　Harry　said。

BRING　BACK　THE　ENTITY　TED。
