The Buller-Podington Compact by Frank R. Stockton is a short and humorous story that plays with the conventions of friendship, social agreements, and the absurdity of certain human behaviors. The plot revolves around two characters, Buller and Podington, who come up with a peculiar and complicated agreement, or "compact," that is meant to govern their behavior and interactions. The nature of the compact, which is shrouded in mystery and often seems unnecessarily convoluted, becomes the source of both comedy and confusion.
