* * * The Magic Spinner - Page 4

Parker puts on the head sash again. He stands and plays with the sword. 

First he pretends to be a strong and noble Japanese warrior - a Samarai. He paces proudly around the room. Then he pretends to be a ninja and sneaks around his room with the sword ready to strike. 

"Cool!" he says as he waves the sword in front of him.

But after a while he starts to feel dizzy. He feels as if he's moving through space outside of his own control. It feels strange, so Parker stops playing around. He puts the two swords back in the heavy box. Then he takes off the black head sash, folds it, and puts it back with the others.

He shuts the box and shoves it under his bed.

Only the old spinner and the two scrolls are still on the bed. He sits down on his bed and looks at them, wondering what they say.
