Box

You find a box with

three distinctively

shaped holes.

Nothing happened.

You insert the Oval

into the Oval shaped

hole where it fits perfectly.

The Oval shaped hole

already has an Oval in it.

Besides, it's not you have

any Ovals to spare, anyway.

You insert the Cube

into the Cubic hole

and it clicks into place.

Your formal Kindergarten

training is finally justified.

You already placed

a Cube into the hole.

You could take it back

out and put it in again,

but that would just be

a total waste of time.

Fortunately, the

nondescript Polygon

that you have is exactly

the same shape as this

nondescript Polygonal hole.

The Polygon fits perfectly,

almost as if it were destiny.

The Polygon is already

inserted into the hole.

Trust that this is as much

as this Polygon can do for you.

shaped holes that

are now filled with the

objects you've inserted.

You open the box

and find that there's

a small card labeled

''Laboratory Permit'' inside.

You pocket this Laboratory

Permit, knowing that you

will be needing it later.

You find the open box

which used to contain

the Laboratory Permit.

This box is no longer

useful to you now, but

once upon a time, its

mysteries were a challenge.
