Argh! I remember this story but I can't answer your question. I haven't thought about this tale in over 30 years and now it's gonna drive me crazy!





Somebody please answer!





EDIT: Told you it would drive me crazy. The story you are looking for is "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury. It's part of his 1951 short story collection, "The Illustrated Man."
