There were two tables

There were two tables.....
One sat Dionysus with tons of food and wine and loud music and stuff falling to the floor, and the other table sat Apollo clumsily ordered off the menu; dropping his silverware. And thinking who he could adorn with brass and silver. While Apollo pondered; Dionysus started to yell for the servers attention. He wanted more grapes and wine. Soon many gathered at Dionysus's table leaving poor mild mannered clumsy Apollo all alone in the fray. After many compliments and insults and as much the onlookers we're mesmerized by Dionysus's charm; Apollo stood up and said, "Dionysus, you are pompous, foolish and too flamboyant for your own good. And the way you treat people is malicious." He said, as he finally ordered a pomegranate. "Look at this pomegranate- it is a symbol of the living and the dead. It has nourishing fruit seeds beyond this dusky rind." He continued, "I only hope there is more to you (like the pomegranate) beyond the surface.
Dionysus laughed and belched at Apollo's words. He counter-spoke, "You are an oaf!"
As one of the onlookers was wiping his finger across the table licking his finger to eat barely there crumbs. He commanded his leopard Erota to eat this onlooker.
And Erota did. She was as vicious as Dionysus. Apollo also had a companion, Ari, the tiger. Ari growled and hissed at Erota and Erota ran off. Dionysus ran after his wild cat. And Apollo and Ari were left alone in peace to eat the pomegranate.
The seeds went to Apollo and the rind went to Ari with a little bit of celery leaf and banana leaf and mint leaf. Ari got an upset stomach so Apollo rubbed the noble tiger's belly till he felt better. There were two tables....... which one do you sit in?
