Two farmers; eyes fixed upon foggy skies; there was no growth in the immediate area they were occupying.

"Mushroom or fog!" the big farmer said.

"I think it's just a cloud" the small farmer said.

"And it's hovering!" the big farmer said. "It's hovering! It's hovering! It's hovering!" they both shouted.

"And it seems to be hovering toward us," the small farmer said.

"Now it's dark and swirling like a tornado!" said the big farmer.

"And it's increasing in size!" said the big farmer.

"Now it has become just as big as both of our farms!" the small farmer said.

"So it has!" said the big farmer.

Now it's become too foggy to see them; their bodies integrated with the fog that surrounds them!
