Why wasn't this blasted contraption working? I decided to go stand by the tree to see if I could get a better view of the problem. I walked over to the tree. On my my way I tripped over the garden hose, the neighbor's cat, and a bottle of mayonnaise, which was clearly an anachronism meant to distract the reader. I arrived at the tree and frantically searched for the problem; however, my perspective was nearly the same as it was a the conrol panel. Suddenly, I heard a giant "SNAP".

Congratulations, your giant mouse trap works great, but you are not going to be around to use it to fulfill your plans. Ben, you have failed because you never watched enough cartoons as a child. If you had seen Roadrunner and Coyote, you would have cleary taken into consideration that the trap was ironically not working because it was going to backfire for a comical effect. Your crippled, malformed body was carried off and eaten by rats, coincidently.

THE END
