"Are you a shark or are you just labeled 'shark'?" I asked.
"What are we if not a collection of labels?" the shark rejoined.
"Surely there's a truth though - are you a shark?"
"No, I'm just a drawing."
"What?"
"I'm merely a few squiggles with, apparently, a pyramid on top and the word 'shark' written on my body."

"Big words for a stick figure!"
