Two human Whetstones met on the street.
"Queer, isn't it?"
"What's queer?"
"The night falls----"
"Yes."
"----but it doesn't break."
"No."
"And the day breaks----"
"Yes."
"But it doesn't fall?"
"No--but it's getting very warm."
"Yes, it is."
"There would be a big thaw but for one thing----"
"And what's that?"
"There's nothing froze."
And they parted.
