Their approach sensitized a switch somewhere and the nursery light flicked on when they came within ten feet of it. Similarly, behind them, in  the halls,  lights  went  on  and off  as they  left  them  behind, with a  soft automaticity.\n\"Well,\" said George Hadley.\nThey stood on the thatched floor of the nursery. It was forty feet across by forty feet long and thirty feet high; it had cost half again as much as the rest of the house. \"But nothing’s too good for our children,\" George had said.\nThe nursery was silent. It was empty as a jungle glade at hot high noon. The walls were blank and two dimensional.  Now, as George and Lydia Hadley stood in the center of the room, the walls began to purr and recede into crystalline  distance,  it  seemed, and  presently  an  African  veldt appeared, in three  dimensions, on  all  sides, in color  reproduced to  the final pebble and bit of straw. The ceiling above them became a deep sky with a hot yellow sun.\nGeorge Hadley felt the perspiration start on his brow.\n\"Let's get out of this sun,\" he said. \"This is a little too real. But I don't see anything wrong.\"\n\"Wait a moment, you'll see,\" said his wife.\nNow the hidden odorophonics were beginning to blow a wind of odor at the two people in the middle of the baked veldtland. The hot straw smell of lion grass, the cool green smell of the hidden  water  hole, the great rusty smell of animals, the  smell of dust like a red paprika in the  hot air. And now the sounds: the thump of distant antelope feet on grassy sod, the papery rustling of vultures. A shadow passed through the sky. The shadow flickered on George Hadley's upturned, sweating face.\n\"Filthy creatures,\" he heard his wife say.\n\"The vultures.\"\n\"You see, there are the lions, far over, that way. Now they're on their way to the water hole. They've just been eating,\" said Lydia. \"I don’t know what.\"\n\"Some animal.\" George Hadley put his hand up to shield off the burning light from his squinted eyes. \"A zebra or a baby giraffe, maybe.\"\n\"Are you sure?\" His wife sounded peculiarly tense.\n\"No, it's a little late to be sure,” he said, amused.  \"Nothing over there I can see but cleaned bone, and the vultures dropping for what’s left.\"\n\"Did you bear that scream?\" she asked.\n'No.\"\n\"About a minute ago?\"\n\"Sorry, no.\"\nThe lions were coming.  And again George Hadley was filled with admiration for the mechanical genius who had conceived this room. A miracle of efficiency selling for an absurdly low price. Every home should have one. Oh,  occasionally  they  frightened  you with their clinical accuracy,  they startled you, gave you a twinge, but most of the time what fun for everyone, not only  your own  son and daughter, but for  yourself when you felt like a quick jaunt to a foreign land, a quick change of scenery. Well, here it was!\nAnd here were the lions now, fifteen feet away, so real, so feverishly and startlingly real that you could feel the prickling fur on your hand, and your  mouth was stuffed  with the dusty upholstery  smell  of  their  heated pelts, and  the  yellow  of  them  was in your  eyes like the yellow  of  an exquisite French  tapestry, the yellows of  lions and  summer grass, and the sound  of  the matted lion lungs  exhaling on  the silent noontide,  and the smell of mea","cbCairZI2nk71D2g","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairZI2nk71D2g","docx",39441,8,"English","# The Hadleys' Nursery Request\n## The Happylife Home Transformation\n## The African Veldt Experience\n## Lions, Panic, and Aftermath","[{\"question\":\"Why does Lydia ask George to look at the nursery?\",\"answer\":\"Lydia wants George to inspect the nursery because it is different from how it was before, and she pushes him to either see it himself or bring in a professional to assess it.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens when George and Lydia enter the nursery?\",\"answer\":\"The walls and space transform into a three-dimensional African veldt, with realistic visuals, smells, and sounds that intensify the longer they stay inside.\"},{\"question\":\"How do George and Lydia react to the lions scene?\",\"answer\":\"George and Lydia panic when the lions approach.
