He declared, “I want you to come with me to the top of the highest mountain & stand with me there.”
“OK.” She replied. “But first let us find our sandals & put them on. They may also need repairing.”
She went to find their sandals, and as she searched, he became agitated. He wanted to go then and there and he couldn’t understand why she was slowing them down. He began to complain and question her desire to join him.
On he went until eventually she put down her tool repairment , ended her search and joined him on the road.
On they walked in pursuit of the highest mountain. He walked briskly and spoke of what wonders awaited their climb and the final triumph of standing there, with her at the very top of the highest mountain. She smiled with him as they envisioned together, filled with the pleasure of each others company, enthused with the passion of the journey ahead.
They travelled until they came upon the path carpeted by thick thorny bush.
Alas: They could not continue their journey, without doing themselves harm.
