″And the house the brothers live in - what would that be?″ ″The world, I suppose,″ Momo replied.
″Bravo!″ said the professor, clapping in his turn. ″I congratulate you, my girl.
You're really good at solving riddles. I'm delighted.″
″Me too,″ said Momo, secretly wondering why he should be quite so pleased that she'd solved his riddle.
He showed her many other rare and interesting things as they resumed their tour of the clock-filled hall,
but the riddle continued to occupy her thoughts. ″Tell me,″ she said eventually, ″what exactly is time?″
″You've just found that out for yourself,″ the professor replied. ″No,″ she said, ″I mean time itself.
It exists, so it must be something. What is it really?″ The professor smiled.
″It would be nice if you worked out your own answer to that question too.″
Momo pondered for a long time. ″It exists,″ she mused.
That much I do know, but you can't touch or hold it. Could it be something like a perfume?
Then again, it's always passing by, so it must come from somewhere.
