Quotes
The missing piece sat alone, waiting for someone to come along and take it somewhere.
And then, one day, someone did come along.
And he took the missing piece on a journey.
But the missing piece was not happy.
It was too quiet, too easy.
So it left the big piece and kept on rolling.
But it soon discovered that out there alone, things were not as it had imagined.
And it was no longer a missing piece.
But it was still seeking something.
It rolled faster and faster, looking for the missing piece to complete itself.
Until one day, it met another missing piece.
And they both became whole.
