Threatened too much by his superior, his hope was shattered
to pieces, and he concluded that he was unfit for the task.
He tottered along the beach side, while two children building a
sand castle grabbed his attention.

While his mind wallowed in self-pity and his eyes were hooked
on the castle, he saw a strong tide, sweeping down the castle to nothing, in a
moment of spur.
While he pitied them, rehearsed words of solace, and scanned
for a better place for them to shift, they had already started their construction,
much closer to the waves.
All his self-pity, hopelessness and helplessness seemed to dissipate
away too, by the innocent act of the children, and he developed a determinacy
to give the task a try, whatever befalls.
