Description
A clumsy kid gets a globe as a gift from his parents and is surprised when he spins water in an Arab desert area of the globe to hear a news report that rain has occurred in an Arab desert that never receives rain. He puts it down to a coincidence, but when he later strikes the globe with a ruler and knocks off an island and the news reports that an island in the same area inexplicably blew up, he becomes convinced that whatever happens to the globe will also occur to the planet. He nails the globe to the desk and covers it with a dome, which annoys his parents. They tell him to pack up for a move and he freaks. He tells the mover to be careful with the globe but he drops it anyway. The boy can't look as he is certain it's the end of the world. The globe shatters when it hits the floor, but nothing happens. Ditko shows us a dead world somewhere in the galaxy that explodes when the globe hits the floor, and Stan assures us that it was providence who moved the spell off of the Earth and onto the dead world.
