Duncan Thaw drew a blue line along the top of a sheet of paper

And a brown line along the bottom

He drew a giant with a captured princess

Running along the brown line

And since he couldn't draw the princess lovely enough

He showed the giant holding a sack

The princess was in the sack

His father looked over his shoulder and said

What's that you drawing

So said initially

A miller running to the mill with a bag of corn

What's the blue line supposed to be

The sky, you mean the horizon

So stir to me this picture

The horizon is the line where was sky and land seemed touch

Is it the horizon, Is the sky

The sky is near stream line Duncan

If would if we saw it sideways

Mr. Thaw ??????? a table lamp and explain Earth was like a ball

And the sun like a lamp

So was bored and puzzled he said

The people fall off the sides

No they kept on by gravity

???? gravity is what keeps us on the Earth

Without it would fly up into the air

And that we would rich the sky

No, no the sky is just a space above our heads

Withouth gravity we would fly up into it forever

But would we come to a thing on the other side

There is no other side Duncan, not at all

????? his drawing into blue clear along the line of the sky pressing hard

He dreamed that night of flying up through empty air till he reached a flat blue cardboard sky

He rested against it like a balloon against a ceiling until worried by the thought of what

Was on the other side

Then he broke a hole and rose through more empty air till he grew afraid of floating forever

Then he give to another cardboard sky and pressed it till worrying by the thought of the other side

And so on
