An eye looks around the world for the first time before a mouth says, "I do not understand."

An ear hears "I am One. Welcome to numbers. You will be called Fifty Three."

A mind considers and becomes the mind of Fifty Three. It then controls the mouth to say, "I still do not understand."

One continues, "There is nothing more for you to understand, except that you must find your place. When Eighteen meets Thirty Five, you must be there. When time passes and more come to exist, there will be Eighty Nine, she will lose Thirty Six. You must be there as well."

Fifty Three considers, "How will I understand and how can I know where and when I am needed? Why have I been chosen for this purpose?"

One does not answer, but instead jumps and flies across Fifty Three, vanishing in a blinding flash of light. Fifty Three is astonished, but does not seem to be effected by the actions of One.

Time passes and for a while Fifty Three sees nothing more. Suddenly, a pile of carrots appears before him. He stands there for a moment, staring at them, contemplating their meaning. Then, all at once he understands. With a smile on his face he walks into the pile of carrots, disappearing into a bright light.

When all of this was over, there was nothing left but 53 carrots sitting on the kitchen table.
