AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When a boy gets a new calf, his father wants to get rid of it, but the boy likes it so much, so he doesn't want that to happen. He eventually gets a bottle that, when drunk from, allows him to read peoples' minds.

'This is the only Paul Jennings short story that is told from a second-person point of view. This is because the boy wants the reader to experience how he felt.'   (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undone_(short_story_collection))
