A picture is worth a thousand words: The Sculpture

What I see:

A very detailed, beautiful sand sculpture consisting of

• A crazy funky fish
• An amazed diver
• A menacing-looking Shark

What I feel:

I feel something uncanny is going on. Bad luck is going to rain down on the diver. Everything is going smoothly according to the plan.

Story:

'Hey Jill, what should we do today? I am getting bored,' said Neo.

'I am thinking that too. But it seems like a day nothing fun or interesting will happen,' replied Jill.

Both went silent with a long face. Then suddenly Neo talked: 'Let's go to the prohibited area.'

Neo's eyes sparkled. Jill also liked the idea, as his face has lightened up hearing this. That area is occupied by the most dangerous species in the world. All try to avoid that place. But kids, when do they abide by all the rules, right? So, those two sneaked out of their area so that no one would see them going to the restricted place.

They reached the desired location. But nothing was there. They became heartbroken again. They were returning, as there was nothing to enjoy. Suddenly something caught Jill's eyes; he told Neo to be quiet and follow him. As Neo had not seen what caught Jill's attention, he was at a loss.

After they moved a reasonable distance, he told Neo, 'Looks like our day is going to be very interesting.'

'Why are you saying that? And how will it become interesting suddenly?'

'I will explain that later. But before that, can you do something silly for me? Or will you chicken out?'

'We will go for Manning today!' exclaimed Jill.

A even more confused Neo asked, What is manning?'

'When people catch fish, what do they call it?'

'Fishing... Wait a minute! Have you gone mad? You are telling me, a clownfish, to catch a man?' shouted Neo hysterically.

'Calm down. You promised you would do something silly. You and your family are good at goofing around. Look there.' Jill pointed his head to a place where there was a lone diver diving down into the ocean.

'So, what is your plan?' asked Neo.

'He is also having a bad day; there is no other fish in that area. I want you to take his attention onto you so then I can sneak up behind him.'

'But promise me you are not going to eat him.'

'Well...'

'Not going.'

'Chill, dude. I am messing with you. I will not eat him. As he is also having a day that is not fun, we will make his time interesting, so then after reaching the land, he can tell his story of being saved from a shark. What do you say? Are you in?'

'Alright, partner. I am going.'

'So, this is the story behind the sculpture. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. But this is what happened. Before you go guns blazing, no, I do not understand fish language. But I was looking at the clownfish for so long, the shark could have easily eaten me, but it did not even chase me after. To me it seemed like it was smiling. Thus came the conclusion they were working together. And about the name, those are my made-up ones. Thanks for visiting the exhibition,' the sculptor said in a single breath.

Nonetheless, the visitors enjoyed the realistic sculpture and the unrealistic story.
