The Tower. The Crisis. The Downfall. It reminds me of a riddle!
A frog, eager to rise above his peers, hopped off his lily pad onto an exposed root at the bank of the creek. The root, taller and more elegant than all the lily pads available, elevated the frog in the eyes of all the frogs, toads, salamanders, fish, snakes, spiders, flies, mosquitos, and moths in the area.
“I love you, my root. You gives me prestige,” said the frog.
“I what you prestige?,” queried the root.
“You give me prestige.”
“That’s not what you said. You said I gives you prestige!”
“You know what I mean!”
“I sure do. You mean I gives you prestige!”
“Stop.”
“No.”
The root teased the frog for days and days until the frog, exhausted, had enough. He threw himself off the root and into the water where he was immediately consumed by all the jealous frogs, toads, salamanders, fish, snakes, spiders, flies, mosquitos, and moths in the area. Who got the most pleasure from his flesh?
Answer: You, the reader! You love his froggy flesh in a way I could never understand! And you consumed it via words! Isn’t reading amazing? Another tarot signed, sealed, and delivered via yours truly!
