Catch a fly. Put it in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator for
5 to 10 minutes. This slows him down considerably, so he's easier to
handle. While he's in there, make a miniature paper airplane with a
wing-span about double that of the fly. Take the cool dude out of the
ice-box and super glue his tiny feet onto the upper surface of the paper
airplane. As he warms up and revives, he will begin doing that most
natural of all fly activities: he will try to fly. If you have not made
your little airplane too heavy, the fly's wing beats will be adequate
for lift off. However, carrying the added weight quickly tires the fly,
so in mid-air, he will stop beating his wings, and the airplane will
soar downward. Seeing his plight causes the fly to once again attempt to
fly, with the same result. Little bursts of energy as the plane gains
altitude, alternated with slow downward glides. A thread super glued to
the plane will keep your aerial circus in the same room, or you can take
your new pet fly out for a walk...er, fly.
