| 520 | _a"Upside Down or Backwards" by W. C. Tuttle is a comedic short story that was published in the early 20th century, specifically in a 1918 issue of Adventure magazine. The narrative follows the amusing escapades of two characters, Magpie Simpkins and Ike Harper, partners in a mining venture who find themselves entangled in a series of humorous events stemming from an impulsive purchase made while intoxicated. The story primarily explores themes of friendship, misadventure, and the absurdities of life in the Wild West. The plot centers around Magpie's return from a trip to the East, carrying with him a bewildering purchase: a male cassowary, an exotic bird he can't recall buying due to his drunken state. As the duo grapples with the implications of this impulsive decision, they navigate encounters with various townsfolk who become equally intrigued by the strange bird. The story escalates as the infrastructure of their small town and the locals' reactions spiral into chaos, all while showcasing witty dialogue and colorful characters. Ultimately, the tale is a humorous exploration of folly and the unexpected turns that life can take, particularly when one acts without full awareness—symbolized through the bird and its unforeseen consequences.
