\ The Hobart Herald 1 6 3 A t last after many trials Unwise reached the Stream of Consciousness which flows through and around the Field. Now no other stream in all the world is like unto this one for in the Stream of Consciousness there are the most curious waves you ever saw; besides lots of wild animals all swimming around. The first wave Unwise struck was that called Emotion which made him laugh at one moment and cry the next. He did certainly have odd feelings and would have drowned only his cork belt that he purchased was made in Germany by a fellow named Wundt and it had poles called Pleasure and Pain by which Unwise shoved him self out of the wave of Emotion. Then he had a tussle with a worse wave called Sensation but he had some Feelings of Relationship who helped him out and after much tormenting by a host of Concepts, Percepts, Visual Images and other beasties he got ashore in the Field. Now the Thought, one of the combatants,was in a part o f the Field called the Fringe and the Sensation was in the Focus which is the center of the Field. The Thought wanted to be in the Focus but the Sensation would not get out and so they fought, Thought trying to get in and Sensation pushing her out. It was not, however, a single handed combat for Sensation had allies of the tribe of Stimuli and Thought had a big brotherly ally called Reason and another Associ ation. Now the real name of Thought just then was “ Get-M arried- And-Settle-D own” and the Sensation’s name then was ” Having-A- High-Old-Time.” The allies did do so much in the fight, it was really not at all a square deal. One of the Stimuli tribe was called “ Lets-H a ve-A-D rink” and another was “ Watch-for-the-Chorus- Girls” and there were others just like that. Well it was a funny fight for all night long Sensation remained in the focus ; but when the grey morning came Thought dressed in drab would win a tempo rary victory aided by Reason and one of the Emotion family named Regret. But when night came again Sensation would always win. And so the fight went on for months until one day one of the Stimuli tribe turned traitor and in the guise of an ally appeared in the Field.
