Finally, I decided to go into the woods

and ask the trees what was the secret

of always staying in the same place.

Roots they said, roots, without a doubt

roots was the general consensus.

Well, that was not much use to me,

though, I do recall people telling me

that I have never stayed anywhere

long enough to put down roots, I had

no idea what they were talking about

until I met the residents of the forest.

On my way back I noticed that same

stork in exactly the same spot as when

I had passed by almost two hours before.

From the bank of the brook I called and

said “ What is the secret of staying in the

same place stationary “ ? One leg, yes,

that’s it without a doubt stand on one leg.

Well, I could not see that working for me

either, but it sounded a logical solution.

I continued along by the bank of the

stream where there was a three-toed

sloth who are well known for lethargy

and just hanging around barely moving.

I thought I would ask, despite it being

asleep in the exact same spot as when

I passed by almost 3 hours previously.

excuse me Mr Sloth, would you mind to

tell me what is the secret for staying in

the same place doing nothing different?

It is very simple, the sloth said, all the

other species on earth evolved to eat

more but we evolved to do less that’s it,

do less, very simple and we also eat less.

well, that might work for him and I could

see his philosophy of food to rest ratio.

I was just as curious as I had been and

none of the answers to the question

posed to those I had met satisfied me

I was still searching for an explanation

just as I arrived at the edge of the

plantation, a gale force westerly came

in from the Atlantic and all the foliage

of the decisions trees were airborne

and it was only then that I discovered

that the answer to my question was

blowing in the wind and why perhaps

the antonym of motionless is leaves.
