Long, long ago, there was a young man who traversed the countryside.
All those he passed would ask, “Young man, where are you going? Such a young man should have destination.”
So the young man began to carry a guitar case.
Soon, those he passed would no longer question him. Instead, they saw the case, smiled, and said,
“Ah! He is on his way to the castle to play a song for the king!”
And if this, children, is the end of our story, which question will you ask?
“Did he ever reach the castle?”
Or
“Was there ever anything in the guitar case?”
