Once there was a little doll made of salt. The little salt doll had an urge to see the world and set off to see it. Then one day she came to the edge of the sea. “What are you?” she asked.
“Touch me and you will find out,” the sea answered.
So the little salt doll stuck her toe in and experienced a truly wonderful sensation. But when she withdrew her foot, the toe had disappeared.
“What have you done to me?” she cried.
“You have given something of yourself in order to understand,” the sea replied
The little salt doll decided that if she really wanted to know the sea, she would have give more of herself. So next she stuck in her whole foot, and everything up yo her ankle disappeared.
Surprisingly, she felt good about it. So she continued further and further into the sea, losing more and more of herself, all the while understanding the sea more deeply.
As a wave broke over her, the last bit of her, the little salt doll cried out, “Now I know what the sea is. It is me.”
