CHAPTER TWELVE

Hairy took the next flight to Zurich and met with professor Ruff who said he would be willing to join the committee for creating more good in the world. However, the professor warned Hairy that his magic flashlight had a side effect that he was still trying to eliminate. Hairy asked, “What is the side effect?”

The professor said,” After being exposed to the magic flashlight, people become afflicted with uncontrollable laughter which makes it impossible for them to carry on a conversation.”

Hairy said, “Well, what’s so bad about that. If evil people are changed into loving good people who can’t stop laughing, what’s the harm of that?”

Professor Ruff said, “I am not sure but it just doesn’t seem right. I am worried about it.” I think the side effect should be eliminated before we use the flashlight for large applications.”

Hairy said, “Let’s move your laboratory to the island of Little Exuma where you can continue to work on the side effect problem with the help of the committee for creating good in the world. I will assign Jasmine Loverly to serve as your personal assistant.”

After seeing a photograph of the beautiful Jasmine Loverly, the professor quickly agreed to make the move.
