Kids just want to have fun.

“The Veldt”; this is a separate publication of this story, which was collected earlier in “THE ILLUSTRATED MAN.” Please do not read this story if there are cats present. Now that virtual reality is perfected Parents can have the room be the nanny. The kids have many environments to choose from; their favorite seems to be the veldt, where the virtual lions seem to be munching on something DEAD. Unfortunately, there may be an unhealthy side effect. The parents check out the room, see the lions, and hear SCREAMS and munching; they decide the kids need to leave the room for a while. The Kids act strangely when deprived of the room, and the unhealthy side effect may affect the parents.
