Advent 2025: Day 16, Midori and Kenzo

 

Midori: I'm a Buddhist, so I don't really get this whole Advent thing.
Kenzo: Well, uh, I'll explain it as we go along.

Kenzo: Our door is there, behind the little bear boy.
Midori: And what is behind the door?

Kenzo: To know what is behind the door, one must open the front of the door.
Midori: Very sensible and ethical.

Midori: I do not understand this representation.
Kenzo: It's a diagram to show us how the pieces
are interconnected to result in our prize.
Midori: I see.

Midori: There are certainly a lot of pieces to this 'prize.'
Kenzo: Think of it as an 8-fold path to achieving Advent.

Midori: We have at least achieved a toy prize.  And some extra pieces.
Kenzo: It also means we are one day closer to Christmas!

Midori: And just what is this toy?
Kenzo: Looks like a space explorer thing.
Midori: Mm.  And what about the extra pieces?

Kenzo: We put them with the others in this mixing bowl.
Midori: ...did you say a mixing bowl?
Isn't Uli missing a mixing bowl?
Kenzo: I think we have attained an enlightenment!
