B-92 radio stories of This one, made without any help of The Other One

Danger

(read by someone else, NOT by The Other One, while This One was absent)

Good evening.
If you were listening to stories by This One, you certainly noticed that he keeps mentioning a person called The Other One, who is always "apologizing" and "promissing that he will come some other time". Well, you see, this time The Other One won't show up as usual, but neither will This One. He just gave me a phone-call. He was very distressed.
He said he was on his way to radio. He took a tramway number 9. In front of tramway 9 there was a tramway 7. This One was leaned on a back window of tramway 9 and he was looking at his reflection in front window of tramway 7. He was thinking: "If I am This One, well, maybe this is The Other One."
He nodded his head to his reflection and asked: "Are you The Other One?"
The reflection nodded his head to This One at the same time and probably asked him the same thing.
"Aha", thought This One. "The Other One thinks that he is This One, and that I am The Other One. Or at least he would like it that way."

After they passed by the railway station, the space between two tramways started to increase. This One suddenly realized that they will turn on different directions on the next corner, and that The Other One will escape his control. He could never imagine something like that. It was always clear who among them is This One and who is The Other One.
He was waving to The Other One in panic, calling him to hurry up, but The Other One was only imitating him like an idiot. This One then realized that The Other One actually wants to defy him, to escape and establish himself in a society as a false This One.
As the two tramways stopped on the next traffic-light, This One opened the door by force, jumped off the tramway 9, and started banging furiously at the door of tramway 7. From the other side of the door, The Other One was banging equally furiously.
Then, the two tramways went on. This One runned after tramway 7, waving and swearing to The Other One, who was waving and swearing to him exactly the same way until he ran out of sight.
In despair, This One caught the cab and went looking for The Other One. He asked us to announce the quest for The Other One. He is easy to be recognized, he looks just like This One.

Our old listener just called us in concern. She was in the tramway 7. She have seen This One (or The Other One, she is not sure). He was standing on the back window of tramway 9 and waving to her in panic. She supposes that he wanted her to hurry up, but she says that he should know it doesn't depend on her. Then he jumped off his tramway and started banging on the door, looking right into her eyes. When her tramway went on, he started waving and swearing to her, she wants to know why.

We hope that things will get clearer in our next show. Only we don't know who will actually come to the show - our good old This One or The Other One undercover.
