The Ant and the Processor



There is an ancient ant descending a stony hill. Since the ant is ancient, he is enormous compared to other ants. He can’t even communicate with the little ants’ modern antennae. He tries to adjust everytime he meets a new ant. All he learns is the different species, class, and colors of the modern ants. He failed to find the way where these ants came from. He continues descending the stony hill.

Until one time this ant came into halt and ponder. He imagines the world as a smooth stone. So he slides down the stony hill. Never did it come to his mind that he’s got exoskeleton to protect him from the edginess of the stony hill. He just let go and slide down the hill. He hopes he don’t end up in the river down the stony hill. While rolling and tumbling down, he remembered he is ancient. He should have thought different earlier. So immediately he imagines the world as rough and edgy. Then he stops rolling and tumbling down inches away from the clapping river. He recovers and approaches the river. Then he swims away from the stony hill.
