The Man on the Perch
The man on the perch never runs out of stories to tell..
He has travelled the world, and has observed human behaviour keenly throughout his life.
I chanced upon him while accompanying a friend who wishes to know the origins of her name. He began a tale of epic proportions involving a young man's quest, a conversation he (i.e. the young man) had with his father and the god of death (somehow or rather). The finale was when my friend's name was likened to a particular star in the night sky and an analogy was made to showbusiness and Hollywood stars.
What's the bottomline? None whatsoever- he said it himself. You're free to form your own conclusions- his is a 10-minute story which ending can be self-directed and self-determined by each member of the audience.
This is what happens when you catch in on your colleagues when they're having lunch- it takes all sorts to make the world go round :-)
