The Ferret Who Sold The World

One day Ferret B612 was bounding along when he met a man with no hat. The man said "Hello, friend ferret. I would like to buy the world from you."

Ferret B612 never gave up his treasures willingly, especially not to a man with no hat, but being a ferret, he was ever curious. "What could you possibly give me that is worth more than the world?"

The man with no hat did not blink. "I will give you this magical sofa couch. It is magical and no matter how big or how unlikely an object is, you will be able to hide it underneath this sofa couch."

Ferret B612's whiskers trembled and his black eyes opened wide, wide enough to show a tiny bit of white at the very edges. "It shall be done."

So the man gave the happy ferret the magical sofa couch and Ferret B612 gave the man the world. The man set the world on his head and began to walk away.

"Wait," Ferret B612 chittered. "I've forgotten to give you your change." With that, he grabbed the man with the world on his head by the ankle and stuffed him underneath the sofa couch.

Ferret B612 traveled around all of existence searching for things to stuff under his sofa couch. There were many, many things. Finally, the day came when there was nothing left to stuff under the sofa couch. "Well," Ferret B612 said to nothing and no one, "there's something I've been curious about since I acquired this sofa couch." With that, he grabbed the sofa couch and began to tug. He tugged and tugged until he pulled the sofa couch underneath itself and of course, him with it. It really was quite a remarkable magical sofa couch.

Since then, everything has been pretty quiet.
