I looked at the menu, but the inside was blank.
“There isn’t anything here,” I said. “Did something get
misplaced…”
“No, sir, that’s the menu we have every night…which means
that anything you order we can make.”
“But you just said that you were a bit limited.”
“Well, we are limited if you take into consideration your
own past experience. You see, the only dishes you would be able to order are
the ones you’ve either had or have heard of…Regardless of how much you know,
there is still a great deal more that you do not. In that way, we are all a bit
limited.”
“What he’s trying to say is that if you’re limited, we’re
all limited,” Linda said to me. “That’s because we see each other slightly
differently from how we might see ourselves. What happens to one happens to
all…do you understand?”
“That’s correct, ma’am,” said the waiter. “In this case
we’re both limited because I cannot think of or prepare what you do not order,
and you cannot order what you do not know. It’s really quite simple.”

BARN DANCE, James Twyman
