“Every day we get a whole trainload of purple rocks, and every day we put all of those rocks in the Furnace to make Zervberries.

Our furnace is big, but it is only So Big.” Steve held out his hands as if he were describing the size of a large fish he might have caught. “We can’t make the Berry Furnace any bigger, at least not very quickly.”

Bobby looked at the Berry Furnace. It was huge. He thought it could make tons and tons of Zervberries. “Gosh, Steve, it seems to me that this factory would be able to make a humongous amount of Berries. I don’t understand why all our Zervs were hibernating today.”

“Sometimes your Zervs are forced into hibernation because the flyway that sends the Berries to your house is broken. We have to send trucks out to fix the flyway so the Berries can fly on their path to your home. As you know, flyways don’t break very often, and they are fairly easy to fix. Today we have a much bigger problem.”

“What is that?” Bobby inquired.
