Mission accomplished? Well, sort of . . .
"Get a horse!" That's what his boss had told him. And off Svetz went with the best intentions in the world. But finding a horse, especially when you've never seen one, was no easy matter, as Svetz quickly discovered.

Then when he thought nothing else could possibly go wrong--somebody, or something, hijacked his time machine!
Great rib-tickling fantasy!
