"A point in every direction is the same as no point at all" Oblio
Finally the two travellers reached what appeared to be the entrance to the Pointless Forest. It was a huge thorny barrier, with a small sign at it's base, which read "This Way". Once on the other side of the barrier, Oblio and Arrow had their first encounter with the "Pointless Man" or the Pointed Man, depending upon your point of view. You see the Pointless Man did have a point. In fact he had hundreds of them all pointing in different directions. And as he so quickly pointed out, "A point in every direction is the same as no point at all".
And speaking of points, I don't know if you've ever been to a pointless forest, but a forest is a forest and one of the first things that Oblio and Arrow noticed about the Pointless Forest was that all the leaves on all the trees had points. And all the trees had points. In fact, even the branches of all the trees pointed in different directions, which seemed a little strange for a pointless forest.
And when the Pointed Man disapeared, Oblio and Arrow were left standing alone, wondering what to do next, when suddenly they were aware of strange sound coming in from the north. And when they looked up, there was a giant swarm of bees headed straight for them. So, to seek cover, they jumped inside a hollow log. But when the bees attacked, the log was jarred loose, and it tumbled down a steep hill, and it careened and crashed finally into the base of a most unusal rock pile. In fact, the Rock Man. And the Rock Man said "Say, what's happening with you boys, you look like you're pretty shook up. You been goofing with the bees?" And Oblio told the Rock Man that they were banished and asked him whether or not this was the Pointless Forest. The Rock Man said "Say babe, there ain't nothing pointless about this gig. The thing is you see what you want to see, and you hear what you want to hear. You dig? You ever see Paris?" "No." "You ever see New Dehli?" That was a no. "Well that's it. You see what you want to see, and you hear what you want to hear." And with that the Rockman fell soundly asleep, leaving Oblio and Arrow once again all alone. So, they continued on through the Pointless Forest until suddenly Arrow, who had been running a few feet ahead,
