The moebius-strip, joining the ends of the strip to form a loop, is very known and has already been at two posts at this blog.I loved this micro-fiction because it is a literary depiction of a moebius-strip and it also reminds me Camus's Sisyphus myth: "One must imagine Sisyphus happy" even tho he is condemned to repeat the same action for eternity.
Cheat: if you didn't get it compare the first and last sentence of the dialog.
I want to thank again Wilson Voight for introducing me another good text.

                      .Once again I thank my English teacher Wilson Voight for a great text. Each of us, non-native speakers, are reading Yertle the Turtle by R. Seuss. Many accents and a rich experience.
