A tiny penguin encountered a gigantic snowball.
Penguin: “Biggest snowball in the world! I wish you were a huge cookie.”
Snowball: “I AM a cookie! A cookie made of frozen water.”
Penguin: “Then you’re not a cookie but a drink.”
Snowball: “Yes, a cookie-drink! It’s important that we always drink enough.”
Penguin: “Alcohol?”
Snowball: “No, WATER!”
Penguin: “You only say that because you’re made of water. If you were made of cookies, you’d rave about cookies.”
Snowball: “Why do you keep talking about cookies?”
Penguin: “Cookies are love! And whoever remains in love remains in the cookie and the cookie in him.”
Snowball: “Uhm… excuse me?”
Penguin: “I’m a very poetic penguin!”
Snowball: “Penguins don’t even eat cookies. Your species feeds on fish and stuff like that.”
Penguin: “The problem with fish is that they don’t taste cookie-like at all. Boo!”
Snowball: “Could it be that you’re a bit crazy?”
Penguin: “NO! I’m an INDIVIDUALIST!”
Snowball: “That’s problematic because society doesn’t like individualists.”
Penguin: “Why not?”
Snowball: “As long as everyone behaves the same, everyone feels safe. But when someone steps out of line, others have to question their own decisions, and they’re extremely reluctant to do that.”
Penguin: “You’re very wise for a snowball. How did you manage to get so big?”
Snowball: “I’ve rolled down every snow-covered mountain I could find. But now the other snowballs don’t like me anymore. They say I’m too big. It makes them insecure.”
Penguin: “Well, the other penguins often criticize me for being into cookies, too…”
Snowball: “As I said, society doesn’t like individualists. But we could become friends and live out our individualism together!”
Penguin: “Can I balance on you while you search for cookies in the snow, rolling and growing even more masssively impressive, and obviously bigger?”
Snowball: “That’s an excellent idea.”
Penguin: “And if anyone has a problem with us, we’ll flatten them!”
Snowball: “Nah, better not. That won’t win us any sympathy. We should show society how great an individual lifestyle can be.”
Penguin: “BY FLATTENING EVERYONE!!”
Snowball: “By remaining in love and having love remain in us.”
Penguin: “You stole that line from me!”
Snowball: “Do you want to balance on me or not?”
Penguin: “OK, let’s go! But we’ll also look for cookies, right?”
Snowball: “If you insist.”
Penguin: “Yaaay, cookie time!”
