It’s Hard to Feel Safe

I went to the ocean and sat at the water’s edge. The ocean said, “To what do I owe this honor?”

The ocean is extremely kind. I think the ocean is this way because it’s so big that it never has anything to fear.

In contrast, I’m ornery because I’m only six feet tall. Bigger things can land on me, I can fall into many of the Earth’s holes, and someone who is six feet two inches tall can make fun of how short I am.
