You don't actually believe that the pump will do as the old man said, but it looks kinda cool and for $1 you'll buy anything. Once home, you go to your room and lie on your bed, examining the small trinket.
You look up as the door creeps open and your cat, Artemis, pads in. He jumps up on to your bed, rubs his face against yours, then sniffs at the shiny item in your hand.
"Careful with that Artemis. It cost a whole $1," you say in mock severity as he bats it out of your hand and begins to roll about with it on the duvet, as if playing with a mouse. There is a sudden sound like a woopie cushion deflating explosively. When you look next, Artemis is laying very still and very flat.
"Oh my God, Artemis!" you scream, lifting the baggy, empty catskin into your hands. The old man was right!
