00:00:02.790 --> 00:00:05.265 align:middle line:84%
And there's a little
poem called "The Story."

00:00:05.265 --> 00:00:09.490 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.490 --> 00:00:14.680 align:middle line:84%
And the idea-- idea
of it came to me

00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:18.040 align:middle line:84%
from the title of this story,
which somebody was telling me

00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:22.240 align:middle line:84%
about, which was called "How
Fire Took Water to Wife."

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:25.750 align:middle line:84%
And I thought that
was an intriguing--

00:00:25.750 --> 00:00:30.490 align:middle line:84%
an intriguing title, and
so I made up a little story

00:00:30.490 --> 00:00:31.315 align:middle line:90%
from that title.

00:00:31.315 --> 00:00:34.330 align:middle line:90%


00:00:34.330 --> 00:00:40.570 align:middle line:84%
"You were telling a story,
how fire took water to wife.

00:00:40.570 --> 00:00:43.150 align:middle line:90%
It's always like this, you say.

00:00:43.150 --> 00:00:45.190 align:middle line:90%
Opposites attract.

00:00:45.190 --> 00:00:49.150 align:middle line:84%
They want to enter
each other, be one.

00:00:49.150 --> 00:00:53.770 align:middle line:84%
So he burns her
as hard as he can.

00:00:53.770 --> 00:00:56.890 align:middle line:90%
And she tries to drown him.

00:00:56.890 --> 00:01:01.360 align:middle line:84%
It's called love at
first, and doesn't hurt.

00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:06.980 align:middle line:84%
But after a while, she weeps
and says he is killing her.

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:11.200 align:middle line:84%
He shouts that he cannot
breathe underwater.

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.730 align:middle line:84%
Make up your own ending,
you say to the children.

00:01:15.730 --> 00:01:17.040 align:middle line:90%
And they will.

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.080 align:middle line:90%
They will."

00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:26.000 align:middle line:90%
