"Look at that. What is this thing?
"It stands up. It comes here. Why here?
"Why this brook, this waterfront? Why this spot of this river where we can see ourselves mirrored, and why it carries its roots above its head? Why the scalp for the fur, and what does it carry? For what purpose?
"It snaps branches of the trees to come out and breathe this air. It sees the trickle, and it sees the clouds, but it can't reach far.
"Don't worry, children. It can't reach far."
