C. Sam and I were playing in a sand pit in our backyard. We were building a
sand castle. We lined it with bricks and bits of grass. We left some space
in the middle in order to pour in a bucket of sand. I decided to go to the
beach first. Sam was the creative artist. He was the designer in our group.
He had once made a model of a unicorn for a school exhibition. It became
the centre piece that year. Suddenly, two dogs appeared. They could
destroy our artwork in a jiffy. Our friends, who were in the vicinity
rushed to our aid. The foundation of our grand castle had to be saved!
Then Sam rose. He let out a loud scream. The dogs ran as fast as their
legs could carry them. The moment of crises was over. That day we learnt
that hell hath no fury as an artist scorned.
