Mr. Garcia was surprised to find a gift on his desk. He thought he'd forgotten all the birthdays. It was a brightly colored book. He picked it up and read the title: *The Book of Impossible Inventions*.

He opened the book and began to read. Every page presented a fantastical, often absurd, invention: a self-folding laundry machine, a teleportation device for pets, a machine that turned broccoli into chocolate. He chuckled at the crazy ideas.

He spent the rest of the afternoon making paper airplanes, each one designed to perform a ridiculous task. He felt a light, airy feeling he hadn't experienced since he was a child. He felt like a different person.
