     Once upon a time there was a writer living by the sea. He had a habit of walking along the
beach before he began his work.
     One day he was walking along the beach, and he saw someone moving like a dancer. He
smiled and began to walk faster toward the men. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young
man and the young man wasn't dancing. He was bending down to the send, picking something
up and very gently throwing it into the.sea.
     As he got closer, the writer called out: "Good morning! What are you doing?"

will die."
