"What" He asked.
"What What?" Someone asked.
"What is what?" He asked. He got into the mood. "Define what for me. What is the meaning of what?"
Someone looked into the floor. Someone and He had a strange relationship. They both never understood each other but needed each other because they had no one else to talk to. Someone was perplexed by what He was talking about.
'What the hell is what' Someone thought without giving it much of a thought. What can what be, he had no idea.
"What is the question?" Someone asked Him.
"What itself is the question" He replied. He had something going on in his mind but he did not know "what" it was. 'What can it be?' He was thinking. But thinking was proving to be too painful and difficult. "What is there for breakfast" He said, trying to change the subject.
"OK, so what is a thing to eat, why didn`t you tell me before" Someone replied.
Now, it was His` turn to get confused. He could not get what someone was saying. "What`s going on?" He asked.
Someone replied "I don’t know".
Our friend, ‘He’ wanted to sound intelligent and tried to control the situation. He said "If we come to know just what is then we will come to know what is going on".
Someone did not want to be left behind in the game of sounding pseudo-intellectual. Someone replied “If we know what is then we will eventually come to know what is the meaning of life and then we will know the ultimate answer to the existence of the universe"
Satisfied with this explanation, both He and Someone proceeded to eat breakfast. Don’t ask "what" it was that they actually ate.
