The Geometrical Romance
of Miss Poly Hedron
Answer Key by David Pleacherr
Miss Poly Hedron was acute girl. She had a sweet face but sum
called her a round
number because she had a figure of good proportions .
Her dress was always
stylish to a high degree . One day she met Mr. Octa Gon at her office in the business
sector .
Mr. Gon was very tall and angular .
It was a case of love at
first sight.
He called on Miss Poly on consecutive evenings and they would converse
about
their common interests at length . He said many
complementary things to
her; and when he left, he said that he would return in twelve days.
She thought it would
be very romantic to correspond with him when he was at a distance . She was
sure it would terminate after some courtship, in a proposition that they would
be married and have an extended honeymoon. On their return, they would
construct a house adjacent to her mother's on a fashionable
square .
Time
elapsed however, with no letter from Mr. Gon. Miss Poly was sad, lines appeared in her
face and she refused to eat pi .
One day while out walking she felt
inclined to sit
down at the base of a pine tree and gathered cones . Just at this point ,
a messenger
brought a telegram inscribed with her name. It announced that Mr. Gon had left her
social circle and had gone to prism because his radical political views were
contrary to those of the ruler .
