Answer 1

i think that the story was portrayed through the picture of the house,like the picture was telling the story

Answer 2

That was quite possibly the most beautiful thing i haev ever heard.  I listened to it twice.  the second time i just laid down and closed my eyes and just listened without watching the video.  That is the deepest story i have heard and i think can be interpretted many different ways.  My thoughts on it though are this:  I think since the girl and the white haired man represent life and death, then the other men must represent something and its reaction toward coming death.  I think the wicked man might represent greed and guilt because when 'death' is coming, he starts going crazy and maybe realizes his evilness and fears the impending death and maybe judgement for his sins.  The old man i think represents old people, wisdom, or pessimism. Old people often look towards the future or the coming generations with pessimism. I think that once death comes, his doubt towards the future is forever gone.  The young dandified man i think could represent naive youth.  MAybe he thinks that his fancy clothes and things are what it means to truly live (materialism) or maybe it just represents people who take life and death for granted or see the two as a joke. (like from that jimi hendrix/ob dylan song 'all along the watchtower' that says "there are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke")  

   Overall, this is just my interpretation and i dont even like my interpretation that much.  Its like one of those stories that the mystery/meaning is right on the tip of your tongue but you cannot explain it.  which it think is why the narrorator says that he cannot say the story.  Which is ironic because he tells a story but i think what the means bynot being able to tell the story is that he cannot tell the meaning. but if he could find the meaning he would be telling everyone.  maybe the story he is talking about is the meaning of life.  also maybe the reason he cannot tell the story is because you have to experience it yourself to understand (expericence  life to understand it) and even then you may not understand.  i dunno. sorry i practically wrote like a novel here but i just found this so intriguing.  Thank you for showing me this story.
