Agent:
[Stamping the passports]
Welcome, looks like you are special guests, the color of your passports are different, you must be VIPs!!
Edmond:
Yes, we have been transferred here from the court of the king.
Agent:
Welcome, as you entered the city you can stay at any of the villas that you desire, and if you liked none, you can order and it will be built for you instantly!!
Helga:
Where do we buy our food?
Agent:
From any store that you want, you can eat at any restaurant as well, just sign the bill, we will pay it. You can order food to be delivered to your villa too.
Edmond:
Where do we buy furniture?
Agent:
The villas are fully furnished, meanwhile there are many stores located in the city, and you will find whatever you desire.
Helga:
We just need to sign the bills?
Agent:
Thank you. Yes you just need to sign. Meanwhile we have everything in this city; whatever you think of will be provided! We just do not have antiquities, but we have ordered those as well!
Edmond’s jinn:
Please ask: as you said everything is provided in the city except antiquities, do you have alcohols, hash, heroin, cocaine, and opium too? Oh ask about LSD as well.
Edmond:
What are these?
Edmond’s jinn:
I will explain later, these are good stuff, just ask.
Edmond:
Excuse me; are there alcohol, hash, heroin, cocaine, and opium in this city? Oh I almost forgot the LSD.
Agent:
[Looks at them suspiciously]
I didn’t expect you to ask for such things, you are from the king’s court.
Nope, we don’t have. This is Utopia; these things which you asked for are exist inside your body hundreds times better, you just need to learn how to use them or how to produce them in yourselves.
Edmond’s jinn:
Ask about…..
Edmond:
Don’t speak, you are embarrassing us.
Helga:
Thank you. Is there anything else you need to notice?
Agent:
Yes, yes, thank you I almost forgot this:
At the southern part of the city, there is a river with 250 feet width. There is a garden at other side of the river which is protected by barbed wire. The river is the border of the city, do not cross that.
Do not cross the river, do not get near to that tree, and do not eat any fruits from those trees.
Edmond:
Is there anything else?
Agent:
No thank you. I hope that you enjoy your staying here.
[Edmond and Helga walk away from the agent]
Helga:
Edmond, what do you suppose those trees are?
Edmond:
I do not know.
Helga:
I suppose apple trees.
Edmond:
Nope, apple is not forbidden, the city is full of apple trees; meanwhile we had apple trees in our own city as well.
Helga:
What about grapes?
Edmond:
Grape is not forbidden as well.
Helga:
Perhaps it is wheat.
Edmond:
Wheat is not a tree, meanwhile our city if full of wheat.
Helga:
Maybe it is a spiritual tree.
Edmond:
Like what?
Helga:
Like the knowledge tree!!
Edmond:
[Bursts into laughing]
This one I can’t believe, king is doing everything in order to increase our knowledge, he is not against wisdom and knowledge and he would not forbid us from getting near of knowledge tree!!!
Helga:
So what is this tree?
Edmond’s jinn and Helga’s jinn:
[Together]
We know!
Edmond:
Well then what is it?
Edmond’s jinn:
Not yet! You will understand in time; but it is not anything like what Helga just said!
