- That wasn't the story I think he was talking about. If I remember, the
- story he mentioned ended just when the man returns to the present (he had
- been back in time hunting dinosaurs or something--they would figure out
- when it would die, and then let people shoot it a moment before. Then,
- the bullets would be collected, etc. There was this walkway, but
- the man stepped off it and onto a butterfly.), finding that the spelling
- of a few words on a sign were changed.

- I read this story in 8th grade but cannot recall the title.
