I'm listening to the episode now.

I think I'll stop my Adventures in Odyssey binge at 4 episodes tonight. \:D/

Eugene-"Well, the sequence of events occured with extreme rapidity, but I shall attempt to recall them. I was powering my two-wheeler along this concrete pathway, when your personnage suddenly appeared directly in front of me blocking my course. My reflexes immediately sprang to life in an attempt to navigate an evasive manouveur around you while still maintaining course and speed, but I evidently over-compensated, and my Schwinn careened off the hardened path, taking me with it, and up-ended us both in this shrub, a Rhododendron of the heath family I believe, deducing from the leathery evergreen leaves, as distinguished from the deciduous Azalea, which as we all know is..."
Isaac-"You mean, you crashed into this bush cause I got in your way."
Eugene-"Well, that of course is another way of expressing it." Isaac the Benevolent

Quote from when I originally posted about this episode on the SS:
"The way they told the story was one of my favorite ways, and reminded me a lot of a passage my 5th grade teacher read to the class. It was the story of a weird culture..and listed things like how the people who were a marriageable age decorated their teeth with metal glued to it, and how all the people kept a chest of all the remedies the doctor had given them, and every morning, they bowed before the chest, but it turned out, that it was a perspective of someone else of Americans! The metal being braces, and the "chest" being a medicine cabinet, and the bowing was actually just bending down to wash their face. I don't think anyone in the class saw that plot twist coming.

But, unfortunately, I did see the plot twist in this episode within 7 or minutes, which made me really disappointed, that it didn't just appear out of the blue. :/ Otherwise, it was a good episode, and a great lesson on perspective."
