+*A colonial couple complains about how the tennis court and other amenities of the club have gone downhill since the revolution began
+*The local natives chant all night long. Skylar believes they are perhaps invoking a protective angel to guard them.
+*A newsman ([[Larry Block]]) interrupts on the radio to describe the aftermath of an aerial bombing. Huts are on fire, and villagers are trying to douse the flames. The arsenal explodes in a huge ball of flames. Escaped animals, some in flames, stampede through the village.
+*As villagers chant and dance, Professor Simon Wexler ([[Arthur Miller]]) explains the proceedings. The natives are doing the Pomegranate Slide. He translates the natives' tale of the Curse of the Concubine:
+* A man appears who is capable of flight. He is taken to court, where the king makes him the chief soldier. The man flies off to fight the king's battles
+* The head concubine calls the flying man to her chambers. She, too, wants to fly and must learn his secret.The flying man refuses to help, he cannot teach her, he does not know how he achieved flight. She thinks he is being coy, and sings and dances seductively, and offers sweets to entice him, to no avail.He falls asleep
+*Back at the compound, the older gentleman is worried about the night prowlers and has some sort of episode. Skylar pours him a drink. They plan an aerial assault on a bridge in the B463 quadrant.
+* Newsman [[Larry Block]] reports that a strange kind of stillness lurks over the village
+* The couple laments how the nice croquet mallets are gone, the servants stole everything when they ran away.
+* Skylar is asked where he comes from, but refuses to say. "I'm not being secretive.. Where do any of us come from?" Skylar sleeps on the floor, he likes the hard surface.
+* Woman attempts to seduce Skylar, but he resists. It turns out he's very ticklish. After laughing hysterically he breaks down sobbing and can't gather himself back together.
+* We return to Professor Wexler's tale of the Concubine, who delivers her curse to the flying man after not being taught to fly. "You will never find fulfillment as long as you are on the ground. You are cursed forever to only find freedom above the earth, in the air,  when you fly".  He flies off.
+* The King calls his wise men who predict that the flying man wiki return to lay waste to his kingdom.
+* Professor Wexler concludes: "That is the story of the Curse Of The Concubine. It is a terrible story and yet a beautiful story..."
+* Skylar's mother used to play a game with her children "This is your father"
+* When Skylar is a child Marcia comes to play, and he buries her in the dirt, "You are a tree, and I'm planting you".
+* Once when Skylar was bad his mother threw him against the wall, so he would never be bad again.
