"I went to the Owl because I heard he had THE ANSWER. I found him at home, and it seemed to me that he, sitting silent in utmost concentration, must indeed have THE ANSWER. 'It is said,' I spoke, 'that you alone have THE ANSWER.' The Owl replied, 'My friend, as much as is said of me is true.' And so I asked the Owl THE QUESTION. He answered me carefully, and with infinite patience, 'You must find out for yourself.' Thinking I had been deceived, I spoke angrily. 'Did I need the Owl to tell me I must think for myself?' 'But, my friend,' the Owl replied, 'THAT IS THE ANSWER.'"
