Once there was a Wizard so old and wise<br> |
| |
that he asked asked Mother Night for a new enterprise<br> |
| |
falling asleep his wish was heard<br> |
| |
and by Merlin's beard<br> |
| |
what a strange world he entered<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
In this world existed only zeros and ones<br> |
| |
never had a Wizard seen such duality, not once<br> |
| |
He approached one of the zeros and said<br> |
| |
<i>Who are you?</i><br> |
| |
<i>I'm a zero</i><br> |
| |
<i>yes, I see, but what do you do?</i><br> |
| |
The zero said<br> |
| |
<i>I am the beginning and the end</i><br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
Never had our Wizard met such a strange friend<br> |
| |
He did not understand at all what he saw<br> |
| |
and walking on this time met another strange fella<br> |
| |
he approached the one and said:<br> |
| |
<i>Who are you?</i><br> |
| |
<i>I'm One</i><br> |
| |
<i>Yes, I see, but what do you do?</i><br> |
| |
The one said: <i>I am everything in between</i><br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
The Wizard could not believe what his eyes had just seen<br> |
| |
He sat down on a stone feeling tired and alone<br> |
| |
missing his friends in the binary unknown<br> |
| |
silent and sad he played with his beard<br> |
| |
suddenly, a little fish appeared!<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
The Wizard said: <i>you are not a zero or a one?</i><br> |
| |
<i>No, I'm a fish, come swim with me, come</i><br> |
| |
They swam together and dived<br> |
| |
deep into the ocean<br> |
| |
until they found the place<br> |
| |
where it once all began<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
The little fish took a small rake and starting raking the sand<br> |
| |
and the Wizard was amazed by the waves of this new friend<br> |
| |
he said<br> |
| |
<i>Little fish, who are you?</i><br> |
| |
<i>I'm a gardener, don't you see?</i><br> |
| |
<i>Well, yes, but what do you do?</i><br> |
| |
The little fish - without stopping - calmly made clear<br> |
| |
<i>My task is important, this is what I do here,<br> |
| |
the sand contains crucial information<br> |
| |
which I need to order<br> |
| |
before the rising of the sun.</i><br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
Suddenly, from far, a big whale appeared<br> |
| |
The Wizard, frightend, quickly hid behind his beard<br> |
| |
The whale opened his mouth<br> |
| |
but instead of swallowing our friend<br> |
| |
released from his tongue<br> |
| |
piles and piles of new sand.<br> |
| |
The Wizard, startled, opened his mouth<br> |
| |
but the fish said<br> |
| |
<i>No no no, no questions allowed,<br> |
| |
we do not need to know where he comes from or goes<br> |
| |
for a little mystery is what gives us purpose.</i><br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
Finally something the Wizard could understand<br> |
| |
he had found the mystery underneath the beginning and the end<br> |
| |
he had dived way below everything in between<br> |
| |
and saw the biggest whale he had ever seen<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
He said <i>My dear fish, what you do, I can see,<br> |
| |
is raking the maritime soil of mystery<br> |
| |
from now on, I will protect you, your sand, and your shells,<br> |
| |
coming back every year to update my spells.</i><br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
They said their goodbyes<br> |
| |
and the Wizard returned<br> |
| |
to his nice and warm bed,<br> |
| |
with all his lessons learned<br> |
| |
He was happy that he now understood this strange place<br> |
| |
and could protect his new friends for the rest of his days<br> |
| |
<br> |
