The tone of the story "Talk" by Harold Courlander and George Herzog is humorous. The story revolves around a farmer being first frightened by the talking yam whom he wants to dig, followed by the dog who told him to listen to the yam, then the palm tree who warned him not to cut its branch. The farmer ran off meeting a fisherman who also ran off hearing the fish trap talk. They come across a weaver whose bundle of cloth talked and then ran with them together. The story is really funny because of the talking characters in the story including the stool in the chief's house.

Here is the answer that would best complete the given statement above. <span>The author of “Nolan Bushnell” states that “It’s very clear that game playing grows dendrites. So people are smarter. The brain is something that if you exercise it you can be smarter. It turns out that games are that exercise.” because WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING A GAME, THIS STIMULATES THE BRAIN EVERY TIME YOU THINK OF ANY STRATEGIES OR TECHNIQUES IN ORDER TO PASS A CERTAIN LEVEL OF THE GAME. Thinking and coming up of a strategy needs a lot of concentration and focus. Hope this answer helps. </span>

"Well, it's this mind reader they got in the freak show," said Leota. "Was real good. Lady Evangeline is her name, and if I had another dollar I wouldn't do a thing but have my other palm read.She had what Mrs. Pike said was the 'sixth mind' but she had the worst manicure I ever saw on a living person."
Based on this excerpt from Welty's "The Petrified Man," what can the reader infer?
I believe the answer is </span><span>Mrs. Fletcher doesn't like palm reader</span>
