"'We cannot pretend to think that we know what Joe knows and what Joe doesn't know,' pronounced Donut with a sharp twitch of his nose.
"'We must only believe with all our heart that Joe knows.'
"'I bet he doesn't know,' said Danish.
He rose up on his hind legs and flailed uselessly at the glass walls until he became exhausted."
Breathing heavily, he lumbered over to the water bottle that hung in the far corner and drew a few drops into his mouth.
You non-believers are all the same, scoffed Donut.
He pushed some dry cedar chips into a small, comfortable mound and settled down upon it.
As if you were the first hamster to ever doubt him, he said, the first rodent to ever think, really.
Who else but you, with your keen intellect, your contrarian insight, your moral bravery and conviction?
Who else could possibly come up with, what if Joe doesn't?
What if Joe can't?
Joe knows who believes, Danish, and Joe knows who doesn't.
Joe is here, Joe is there, Joe is simply everywhere.
What if he never comes back?
What if he's forgotten us?
What if he's died?
You look around at all your plastic tube highways and your fabulous habitrail and think you're special.
But do ants not build anthills?
Do bees not build hives?
It is not what we build that makes us unique.
