Love Is A Fallacy

• The story started as the narrator described his friend, Petey, who was according to him was the total
opposite of him. Petey goes by the trend, he's dumb, while the narrator is a keen and really smart.

• They made a deal. The narrator would give the raccoon coat— his father's— to Petey if the latter
would let him date Polly, the girl who's dating Petey that time but not exclusively.

• Hesitantly, Petey agreed to the deal in exchange for the raccoon coat. The narrator, then, had the
chance to date Polly. He was glad but he revealed that he doesn't really like the girl, he just think that
she would fit the standards he has for a wife, and he would help her be intelligent— a quality she was
lacking, according to him.

• For five nights, he taught Polly how to be a logician, explaining and letting her learn about the different
fallacies such as ****

• It was difficult at first, he was tempted to just give up and end what he started, but he thought Polly
still has a chance to be smart just like him. They continued their dates for consecutive nights, talking
about the logics and fallacies until at last, the narrator got what he wanted.

• Polly became a logician!

• Because of this development, the narrator decided to move their relationship to the next level. But
alas! Polly always blocked his words with the fallacies they have discussed along those past nights, much
to his irritation rather than amusement.

• Then Polly declined his offer for a romantic relationship because she wanted a steady relationship with
Petey, not him. And this is because the narrator, unlike Petey, doesn't have a raccoon coat!
