Cary pulled the thread, but he did not know the thread was attached to a magic carpet, so he was unprepared for what happened next.
The next-best thing to happen to Carrie was Cary giving her a ride on his magic carpet, but the following week she called to arrange another ride, and Cary never answered. Enter the next-to-last best thing. The fleas of counting sheep kept Carrie awake all night long–ever since the partially fateful magic carpet ride with Cary. But what really threw Carrie for a hoopla was when the sheep started counting her. She asked them how high they would count, and they said they would count until she fell asleep. Carrie said do you believe in countable infinities?
Cary realized he had slipped into the world of uncountable infinities and that it would take an infinity of lifetimes to train his sheep to count until he fell asleep, so the last best thing never happened again.

At last as always!
You’re just too good, man.
It’s an uphill battle every day.
