“What are you?”
“Pardon?”
“WHAT-ARE-YOU, loud enough?”
“Did you want to know my name? Should I decode it so?”
“Which part of my question appears ambiguous to you? What-are-you? As simple as that!”
Perplexed to the tip of his toes, he replied, this time in a lowered tone,
“What? What do you want me to answer? A human being? A soul? What is it?”
“Which of these would satisfy you?”
The other man stretched into a smile and replied,
“If I were in your place, I’d have said just a simple word-‘earth’ “
“ And why is that so?”
“Ok! Now a few simple questions more and I’ll lead you to the answer.
Where did you come from? Where were you before touching your toes on this earth?”
“Seriously, do you want me to answer this? Well, my mother’s womb of course!”
“And before that? How did you come to that womb?”
He frowned and with a furrowed forehead he replied,
“My father holds the responsibility”
“So it’s your father! Hmm...”
“Have you reached your limits? Or are you capable of being more disgusting?”
No sooner, the next question popped out.
“And how did your father kept you in him? Did he have a womb too?”
He sighed and replied, “He had me in his…um.. I’m not sure... He had me somewhere inside him”
“Ok, leave it! D’you know how he got you in him? Or were you in him right from his birth?”
“God! What are you up to? I’m just a harmless creature. Would you mind leaving me alone?”
The man interrupted,
“Wait, you are almost near. It isn’t manly to give up half way.”
“Yes, you have put me in. you’ve got me trapped with this. I don’t know how exactly I went inside him. Perhaps, it’s through the food.”
“Exactly! You are far ahead than I thought you’d be. Yes, of course! It’s from the food.”
“And where does this food came from? Please don’t say ‘restaurant’ or ‘kitchen’.”
“Well, if it’s not from those, then I guess I’d opt the answer to be..um..soil maybe.”
“You said it! It’s the soil! It’s the EARTH!”
“You came from EARTH. You die and go back to the same EARTH, perhaps as manure for another plant.”
The man walked past. He stood stunned, his jaws went slack.
“What are you?”
“Pardon?”
“WHAT-ARE-YOU, loud enough?”
