Finally, Gordon goes to give some old newspapers to Oscar, but drops them with the rest of the stuff when he has to get his roast out of the oven. The wind begins to pick up and spread everything around as Oscar looks on.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Back in the present, Mr. Hooper finds the story a bit far-fetched until David, Maria, and Gordon return to clean up their messes. Mr. Hooper realizes his assumption was wrong and apologizes as Oscar agonizes over the loss of a perfectly good mess.
