The Boy of the Thread.
Meeting a little philosopher on the street brings a lot of concerns and doubts.
"The boy comes over and asks me, 'Can you see the thread?' A thin mist envelops him.
I still haven't quite woken up—is it just an illusion? The boy stretches his arm further
and says, 'How can you not see the thread when I see it?'
