the middle path . . .

Being in a 'total destruction' mood,
our friend was on
with his morning walk.

On the way he saw a troubled person
wandering in the road
and pretending to search something.

"What are you searching here?",
asked our friend.

"I am searching the middle path.
Do you think, you can help me in this?",
asked the wanderer.

With the usual smile -
responded our friend,
"I can't as you are already
in the middle of the path"
