The secret place

Legend has it that when the gods made the human race, they fell to arguing where to put the answers to life so the humans would have to search for them.

     One god said, “Let’s put the answers on top of a mountain. They will never look for them there.”
      “No,” said the others. “They’ll find them right away.”
      Another god said, “Let’s put them in the center of the earth. They will never look for them there.”
      “No,” said the others. “They’ll find them right away.”
      Then another spoke, “Let’s put them in the bottom of the sea. They will never look for them there.”
      “No,” said the others. “They’ll find them right away.”
      Silence fell…
      After a while another god spoke, “We can put the answers to life within them. They will never look for them there.”

      And so they did that.
