Clump tripping and falling to the ground, and what happens as a result

Instead of stepping over the string, Clump tripped. Now he is on the ground, smiling. A woman approaches him. “Why are you smiling?” she asks. He looks at her but does not respond. “Oh,” she says, “I see.” And she says this with sincerity. “Well see you then,” she says. And Clump just keeps smiling up at her as she begins to walk away.
