* BolivianArmyEnding: The story ends with the therapist Dr. [=McClean=] coming to pick up the kids, and he sees them calmly having a tea party in the Veldt, with their parents nowhere in sight, although some lions and vultures are feasting on carcasses in the distance. Peter and Wendy offer him a cup of tea, and we don't find out what happens after that. The reader has to decide if Dr. [=McClean=] figured out what happened and forces the kids out of the playroom or escapes to alert the authorities, or if they will kill him in turn. [[spoiler:The ''Ray Bradbury Theater'' adaptation [[NotHisSled opts to remove some of the ambiguity]] by having the episode end [[OhCrap with the door to the nursery close and lock behind McClean]].]]
