7.3: "The Wizard and the Fish"

+

+[Sorry, no commentary] +

+

+ +
+

+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
+
+ +
