Pinky Falls in Love

Today at the gourmet grocery store parking lot, Pinky was struck by how good his shadow looked. Now Pinky isn't like Narcissus-- he hates the fat balding cowboy that peers back at him with puffy narrow eyes while he's shaving. But his shadow was different. It was like the real him--the essence of him--Pink Personified. He ran to the temple and asked the monk, "My shadow seems like an empty shell and the true me. Can my shadow love me as much as I love it?" The monk answered simply by bowing before Pinky and saying, "I know not, Master."
