"Sometimes, when someone asks me a question, I go MOOO, like a cow. Because I figure if mooing is good enough for a cow, it should be good enough for me."
"I see." says Chung Tzu.
"Other times, when someone wants to ask me a question, I go HONK, like a goose. Because if honking is good enough for geese, it should be good enough for me."
"Indeed." says Chung Tzu, dryly.
"But lately, when someone asks me a question, I've been being silent."
"Why so?"
"Because I'm not a cow, a goose, or even a person. There's nothing here to make noise."
Chung Tzu and I pause. We listen to the wind blow.
"Well, that's great...but why did you have to ruin it, by talking?"
