Quarrel Over Importance

Nidhu Bhusan Das: I am Noun.Remember, the baby first of all knows me. Don't be so proud, Mr.Noun. You have started your boasting using 'Me'.Everyone knows 'I' is a pronoun. You have also used another pronoun 'me' in the second sentence.On the other hand,you see, I can well go without you . I could even avoid naming you in the third sentence. You are used instead of me,and without reference to me you are hollow,Mr.Pronoun. Why don't you understand that people are reluctant to use you repeatedly.They don't say,'Ram lost Ram's pen.' Rather they say,'Ram lost his pen.' That's right, but 'his' here refers to 'Ram', the noun. So, you cannot boast of being all important.As pronoun I am not like that.I understand we are equal- I need you and you need me.Well,I agree.
