"I don't want to bother you much with what happened to me personally," he began, showing in this remark the weakness of many tellers
of tales who seem so often unaware of what their audience would best like to hear; "yet to understand the effect of it on me you ought to know

earth. But the ships wouldn't even look at me. And I got tired of that game, too.
"Now when I was a little chap I had a passion for maps. I would look for hours at South America, or Africa, or Australia, and lose myself in
all the glories of exploration. At that time there were many blank spaces on the earth, and when I saw one that looked particularly inviting on a

(from "Heart
