This story seems to be a little more in depth than the last, but still enjoyable! Although it has to do with the Jewish religion and uses quite a few words that I am unfamiliar with, I got the feeling that the story pointed back to the origins of language. It talks often about assigning names and there is much deliberation in choosing them appropriately. I would assume that this goes back to early times, before we had language as we know it today. At some point in time, someone had to look up and decide to call those white things in the sky "clouds" and someone else even decided to call our planet "Earth". If we didn't have these words of reference, communication would be near impossible!
