Prince Timotheus and the Witch

This is a short tale about finding the meaning of life:

"There is a space

between the stars

just as there is a space

between your fingers," Brother Bear said.

"It is the same space that separates us

from realizing the meaning of life."

"What do you mean?" Little Bear asked, licking his paw.

"You have to fill this space,

and only then can you realize

the meaning of life.

Journey into the unknown, fight,

and be happy," Brother Bear answered.

After a few seconds of silence,

Brother Bear recounted the following story--
