If there is no me

It took just a little for stars to start shining and for the Moon to come out over silent autumn fields. The Moon then passed over the forest, stayed still for a while by the top of the highest fur-tree. It was that time when the Hedgehog and the Bear finally saw the Moon.

-Look! - the Hedgehog said.
-Yes, the Moon - the Bear said. The Moon was still rising, everything was lit by its cold pale light.
It happened every evening of that cold autumn. It also happened that every evening the Hedgehog and the Bear gathered together to have a talk.
-So good we have each other, - the Hedgehog said that time.
The Bear nodded.
-Just imagine there is no me and you are sitting alone, having nobody to talk to.
- Where can you be? - the Bear asked.
-There is no me, - the Hedgehog said.
- It cannot be so.
- Still it happens that there is no me and you are alone. What will you do?
-I will go to you, - the Bear said.
-Where to?
-What does it mean "where to"? To your house, of course. I will come and say: "Why haven't you come?" You will say...
-You, silly, - the Hedgehog said: I will say nothing, there is no me.
-If you are not at home, that means you have just come to me. I will go back and see you there. Then I...
-What will you do?
-I will be angry.
-Why?
-What do you mean by "why"? You forgot about everything we had decided to do, - the Bear said.
-And what did we decide?
-I don't know. You are either with me or at home.- the Bear said.
-There is no me! Understand? - the Hedgehog said.
- You are with me now!
- I am here but if there is no me, where are you going to find me?
-You can be either here with me or at home.
- It's because I am here.
-So what? - the Bear said.
-Imagine there is no me.
-It means you can be by the river watching the Moon.
-I am not by the river.
-Then...you could go somewhere and you haven't come back. I will go anywhere in the forest, I will search for you and I'll find you!
-You have already searched. You haven't found me, - the Hedgehog said.
-I will go to the nearby forest!
- There is no me in that forest.
- I will turn everything upside down and I will find you!
-There is no me anywhere!
-Then I...Then I...Then I will go to the fields and shout "Hedgeho-og!" so you will hear me and answer "Be-ar!" Here we go! - the Bear said.
-No, there is no me at all. Understand? - the Hedgehog said.
-Enough with it, - the Bear said angrily: You know, if there is no you, then there is no me. Understand?
-B-but if I really, really didn't exist at all...
The Bear went silent frowning.
-Umm...Bear?
The Bear didn't answer.
He was watching the Moon high in the skies. It was shining above with its cold light.
