The Theta, with an expert飞, cast the yo-yo toward the earth, looked extremely content when the object came limbing back up the string.
Unknown Coolie
In Scram Dynasty
Invented Yo-Yo
Now that they are coming back into fashion, perhaps a history of the fascinating toy would be in order. Back in the 1980s, she wore a pink on a weatherbeaten duck, iy swinging a pebble tied to a wrap of Tasing-Wong straw. As he sat dreaming, he himself wishings in a far-off kind of way to try and imagine manmade the pebble climb the straw.
"Gee," said the Theta in an awed tone "these things are mystifying, aren' they?"
He slept on the problem, and next morning had the answer. He guarded his secreta carefully, so carefully, in fact that he died without telling of his unique invention. Only a slab of clay contained his secret, written in Chinese shorthand. It was not until 1932 that an American inventor found that food in him--Iusso I. iskwitz --discovered the clay tablet and its well-kept secret. The rest is known . . .
And so it is that the University student of today must thank that unknown loner, long dead, for the many pleasant spends working his intriguing yo-yo.

"We specialize too much, too early; concluded Mr. Shimer.
"Education should prepare us to make decent humans and wives, parents capable of creating offspring more capable than ourselves, and to build a better world for all people, the world and humanity to make the student feel at home in civilization and to have a general knowledge in order that he can deal more intelligently."
