Abstract: Apart from a handful of exotic--and almost completely unreliable--tales surrounding his life, Richard Potter is almost unknown today. Two hundred years ago, however, he was the most popular entertainer in America--the first showman, in fact, to win truly nationwide fame. Working as a magician and ventriloquist, he personified for an entire generation what a popular performer was and made an invaluable contribution to establishing popular entertainment as a major part of American life. His story is all the more remarkable in that Richard Potter was also a black man.

Abstract: Con la scuola sull'Empire State Building per guardare ad altezza nuvole. Sulla terrazza, quel ragazzo bravo a disegnare e appassionato di pesci, diventa amico di una giovane nuvola. Lei lo porta con sé al "Sector 7", una grande stazione aerea di creazione e smistamento, dove le nubi, catalogate da esperti, ricevono orari di partenza e destinazione. Stanche delle loro forme consuete, le nubi chiedono al ragazzo di essere rimodellate: diventano mille pesci diversi che, usciti dal "Sector 7", nuotano senza peso nel cielo! Tra loro si confondono anche il ragazzo e il suo soffice amico. Insieme riconquistano il grattacielo, appena in tempo per riunirsi con la classe.
