Reminds me of a beast fable Ernest Hemingway told me once while I was stuck in a k-hole. The fable is called “The Hippo & the Stork Beast Fable,” which is redundant which is Hemingway:
“A hippo and a stork meet in a meadow. The stork asks if the hippo will let it stand on the hippo’s head? But as the hippo is asking him why, the stork is already standing on his head.”
