I want to learn to swim.
Do you want to make a bargain about it?
No. I only have to take my ton of cabbage.
What cabbage?
The food I will need on the other island.
There is better food there.
I don’t know what you mean.
I cannot be sure.
I must take my cabbage.
You cannot swim, for one thing, with a ton of cabbage.
Then I cannot go.
You call it a load.
I call it my essential nutrition.
Suppose as an allegory, we call it not cabbage, but assumptions or destructive ideas…?
I am going to take my cabbage to some other instructor who understands my needs!
