“Mother, what is water?” asked the baby fish of the mother fish.
“Water is what you swim in. Water is what you’re mostly made of.”
“But where is it?”
“All around you.”
“But I can’t see it,” said the baby.
“Of course you can.”
“Where?”
“Everywhere.”
“And I’m made of water?”
“Mostly.”
“And after I die..?”
“You go back to being water,” said the mother.
“I once saw a child coming towards me with a lit torch in his hand.
‘Where have you brought the light from?’ I asked him.
He immediately blew it out and said to me,
‘Oh Hasan, tell me where it has gone and I will tell you whence I fetched it.’”
