A man wearing heavens’ white woke me up during the night. He said: “For thousands of years I have watched the earth and understood every riddle except this one.”
And while he spoke I saw a vision of an old and a young man sitting opposite each other in deafening silence. I realized the meaning and hesitantly explained:
“They play a game: whoever speaks first, loses.”
“Finally, solved! It must be a fascinating game; it has been running for years. Are they good friends?” he inquired.
“I’m afraid not sir, they are a father and a son.”
