+

+ Once there was a Wizard so old and wise
+ that he asked asked Mother Night for a new enterprise
+ falling asleep his wish was heard
+ and by Merlin's beard
+ what a strange world he entered
+
+ In this world existed only zeros and ones
+ never had a Wizard seen such duality, not once
+ He approached one of the zeros and said
+ Who are you?
+ I'm a zero
+ yes, I see, but what do you do?
+ The zero said
+ I am the beginning and the end
+
+ Never had our Wizard met such a strange friend
+ He did not understand at all what he saw
+ and walking on this time met another strange fella
+ he approached the one and said:
+ Who are you?
+ I'm One
+ Yes, I see, but what do you do?
+ The one said: I am everything in between
+
+ The Wizard could not believe what his eyes had just seen
+ He sat down on a stone feeling tired and alone
+ missing his friends in the binary unknown
+ silent and sad he played with his beard
+ suddenly, a little fish appeared!
+
+ The Wizard said: you are not a zero or a one?
+ No, I'm a fish, come swim with me, come
+ They swam together and dived
+ deep into the ocean
+ until they found the place
+ where it once all began
+
+ The little fish took a small rake and starting raking the sand
+ and the Wizard was amazed by the waves of this new friend
+ he said
+ Little fish, who are you?
+ I'm a gardener, don't you see?
+ Well, yes, but what do you do?
+ The little fish - without stopping - calmly made clear
+ My task is important, this is what I do here,
+ the sand contains crucial information
+ which I need to order
+ before the rising of the sun.

+
+ Suddenly, from far, a big whale appeared
+ The Wizard, frightend, quickly hid behind his beard
+ The whale opened his mouth
+ but instead of swallowing our friend
+ released from his tongue
+ piles and piles of new sand.
+ The Wizard, startled, opened his mouth
+ but the fish said
+ No no no, no questions allowed,
+ we do not need to know where he comes from or goes
+ for a little mystery is what gives us purpose.

+
+ Finally something the Wizard could understand
+ he had found the mystery underneath the beginning and the end
+ he had dived way below everything in between
+ and saw the biggest whale he had ever seen
+
+ He said My dear fish, what you do, I can see,
+ is raking the maritime soil of mystery
+ from now on, I will protect you, your sand, and your shells,
+ coming back every year to update my spells.

+
+ They said their goodbyes
+ and the Wizard returned
+ to his nice and warm bed,
+ with all his lessons learned
+ He was happy that he now understood this strange place
+ and could protect his new friends for the rest of his days
+
+ +
