Benchy One with Eight Legs - wooden edition I
He was stranded. As far as he could see there was only sand. “Is this earth?”, he wondered. The sand was still hot but the air was cooling down rapidly as the first sun sets. “In the desert you easily suffer from schizophrenia”, he thought, “the loveliest and at the same time the saddest landscape in the universe”. As he spotted a round shape far away between the motionless and soundless sand dunes he felt melancholic. “A friend is coming”, he thought. He could see a little guy in soft green clothes with golden hair pointing upwards walking towards him. “I've always loved the desert. You sit down on a sand dune. You see nothing. You hear nothing. And yet something shines, something sings in that silence.” Melancholia turned into joyful anticipation as the little fellow approached and asked: “Please, draw me a chair.”
