"The rebirth of black ca" This chapter opens on the west side of Chicago, where the Chicago Bears are playing a game against the New York Yankees. The narrator tells us that he has heard rumors about a woman being involved in an upcoming fundraiser at the Willis Tower. He says that his father always used to come up with "the best heckles" when he was a kid. The Chicago Cubs are in New York for a game, and a black cat walks onto the field. Everyone thinks that the team is headed to the World Series, but the cubs have had bad luck in the past, and the black cat has been haunting the team ever since. The cubs are playing in a square show, which is a kind of magic show. The black cat is haunting the cubs because the whole Chicago is watching the game. This is what the narrator got from his dad, who used to sneak out to a witch's party to get the witch to help the cubs win. The witch gave him money for helping the cubs, and he says that he hopes the witch will burn in hell for giving him such a good deal of money
