The story was translated into Russian (the title Чепушинка) was during Soviet times and
appeared in actually two Bradbury collections: in 1983 and 1989.
It seemed to me extremely
funny, especially as the Russian language lends itself to numerous expressions with meaning similar
to "doodad" (the Russian translators used words such as "штуковина" and
"штучка-дрючка". I always wonder what could be the actual English words
used.

this is about the ever living beauty of human talent, ability to live for others and wanderlust.
BRadbery instinctively felt that technology alone will never make humanity an integral part of the
Universe and space travel will be just a tiny speck in the vast oceans of Time and Space unless it
is coupled with spiritual development. The story is brilliant and it is all about triumphant Life.
Funny I should have come across this after so many years. I'm 70 now. I was an avid S.F.
reader as a boy and this story, especially the ending, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand
up.,
