That character brags about creating fireworks for the "King of America", but his best show happens when his house catches fire at the end of that story. Another character in this collection studies "litritcher and poultry" so that he can get a second grade on his exams and become a doctor, but after failing several times, he ends up driving carts. Another character writes one line a month towards "the greatest poem in the world" and calls himself "Black Wordsworth", while another character who is forever building "the thing without a name" is the carpenter Popo.
