Imagine
yourself walking on a road,
As someone passes by, you engage them in a conversation.
Somewhere in the middle
You ask: "How old are you?"
"A thousand," comes the reply.
Surprised, you seek an explanation.
They point to a tree and say,
"I have passed by that tree a thousand times."
"This is how I count myself," they say while looking at the tree.
"The number of times I have passed by you."
