“…”

“Aldo!”

“What?”

“Come here!”

“Right now? Why?”

“You need to meet someone.”

“I am rather busy right now. Maybe later.”

“I really think you should make the effort to meet this fine individual.”

“Maybe you don’t think that my time is of any great importance, but I am working at the moment. Perhaps later.”

“While we all have the utmost respect for your time and work, your contributions to the field of mathematics are legendary, I think you may wish to make an exception in this particular case.”

“If you believe flattery sufficient to divert my attention from my current investigations, you are mistaken. I require more information concerning the identity of this famous personage, upon which you waste much breath, before I will pause my exertions. There are rules for this sort of introduction, this social encounter, as you are well aware.”

“In that case I beg your pardon, and also that of my esteemed friend, whose rules I must break in this instance. Aldo, I would like to introduce Leonardo of Pisa.”

    based on the name Leonardo of Pisa, I’m thinking he’s traveled into the future, which would make a mathematician stop in his tracks, I assume. Other than that, I’m not sure what is going on. I love the dialogue, though! Throwing those big words around.. ;)

    Ok, to “solve” the mystery, if anyone stumbles across this story. The number of words on each line follow the Fibonacci sequence. “Son of Bonaccio” and “Leonardo of Pisa” are simply other names for the mathematician.
