1/ the Earth
were only a few feet in
diameter, floactng a few feet above
a field somewhere, people would come
from everywhere to marvel at it. People would
walk around it, marvelling at its big pools of water,
its little pools and the water flowing between the pools.
People would marvel at the bumps on it, and the holes in It,
and they would marvel at the very thin layer of gas surrounding
it and the water suspended in the gas. The people would
marvel at all the creatures walking around the surface of the ball,
and at the creatures in the water. The people would declare ic
as sacred because ic was the only one, and they would protect
it so that Jc would not be hurt. The ball would be the
greatest wonder known, and people would come co
pray :o it, to be healed, to gain knowledge, to know
beauty and to wonder how ic could be. People
would love it, and defend ic w ith th eir lives
because they would somehow know th a t
their lives, their own roundness, could
be nothing w ithout it. If the
Earth were only a few
feet in diameter.
