Tareen the Green Tangerine

page six-tricks-hot-sticks

“Oh! How stupid of me” said Rolange,

“ H e lllll o o o o ! ”

O pen the Envelope

said Tareen – the green tangerine

“That is not at all stupid - but maybe it is silly” “Excuse me! Excuse me! excuse moi!” said Rolange, “Still all – a – rush with a blood red blush: “What is the difference between stupid and silly”.

“Oh, all the world” said Tareen (who – as you might well know – is a green tangerine).

If I say “1 and 1 is 3. Well you know that is stupid.

It is stupid because it is completely wrong and cannot be right.” “But” continued Tareen (who to the best of my recollection is a green tangerine) “If I say 1 and 1 is 11. Well that is silly. It is silly because – although it is wrong, there is still something true about it.” “Think about it” said Tareen (who by now you should know – is a green tangerine.)

Page vii

“Ahh. Ah-hah!”, said Rolange (who unlike Tareen the green tangerine is a Rhyming Orange),

“This is the difficulty with words.

“Let us ask therefore ask”, said Rolange (a distinctly rhyming orange):

“What is the difference between

a cat and a dog?”

“Ah-hah!” , said Tareen, searching for the best rhyme (very unlike a green tangerine)

“Well,” said Tareen (and now is the time to tell you a very big secret: – Tareen is a green tangerine.

There!

The secret is out!)

“Words mean what they mean because

they mean what we say they mean”,

sayeth Tareen. “What does that mean?!”

queried Rolange.

“Ahhh! That is another question altogether”

Page eight – now what rhymes with ate?

It was at this point that Tareen (an unequivacally green tangerine) slipped an old Japanese poem into Rolange’s pocket (you know – the pocket where orange’s keep things like their heart, their juices and their vitamin c).

And this was the poem:

“ a FROG, a POND, a PLOP ! ”

Page German No

Ah said Tareen,

Well here-and-now I have a riddle, with which you can fiddle,

See if you can figure this one out my buddy:

If I owe you no money and I don’t

have any money no money, but I still

have a lot to give you: What can I give you?
