The Old Man finds a bottle in the lake and when he uncorks it, a genie pops out. It turns out, that, somehow, the genie is The Old Man - or, at least, part of the Old Man’s soul. Inside the bottle is a note the Old Man wrote many years earlier when he was a child, before putting it into the bottle and throwing it out to sea. The note says: ‘Who am I?’ The Old Man and the genie discuss this difficult question.
