That wasn't the story I think he was talking about.  If I remember, the
story he mentioned ended just when the man returns to the present (he had
been back in time hunting dinosaurs or something--they would figure out 
when it would die, and then let people shoot it a moment before.  Then, 
the bullets would be collected, etc.  There was this walkway, but
the man stepped off it and onto a butterfly.), finding that the spelling
of a few words on a sign were changed.

I read this story in 8th grade but cannot recall the title.
