Neither Finn nor Leon had ever been to a meeting before, so they decided to go and attend one. They didn’t seem to care that there were so many different kinds of meetings that they could attend. Their knowledge and experience (the same thing?) about meetings was so limited that “a meeting” was just “a meeting”. People gathered together and met.
The first big question they had to answer was how to get to the meeting. Leon, being quite the traveler, said, “Bus! We can take a bus to a meeting!”. Finn, the lucky one, agreed.
The next big question to be answered was where to get on the bus. Finn thought for a bit and considered that buses both start and stop. And since it might be kind of dangerous to attempt getting on a bus while it was started, Finn thought that stop would be easier. So he told Leon that they could get on the bus while it was stopped. But where? Leon just started mumbling the words, “bus”, “start”, and “stop”. He kept saying them over and over until he said, “bus, stop!” rather loudly. Finn heard that and asked, “did you say, ‘bus stop’?”. “Yes”, Leon said. “That’s it!” said Finn. “We’ll get on a bus at a bus stop!”.
So they did.
Neither Finn nor Leon knew when they should get off the bus in order to arrive at the meeting. But a friendly gentleman sitting near them said that there was a meeting room on the 18th Floor of a building downtown and that they had a good chance of attending a meeting there and then told them where to get off the bus. They thanked the nice gentleman (their Mother taught them to be polite) and went to the building they were told about.
Walking until they found the building, riding the elevator until they got to the 18th Floor, sitting at the really nice meeting table in the really nice meeting room on the really nice meeting chairs, all they could wonder was, “when is a meeting going to start?”.
