The game was simple. Just stand on the stone ball
and throw your metal hoop on top of that lamppost right in front of you and I’ll
win that giant ornamental fish. Trouble is, I’ve been trying to do it for over
six years now, and it’s not easy with everyone watching me. Just one small
movement causes the little people to stop and stare, and it sometimes sends
them into a panic as they think that I’m going to fall off my stone. Actually,
my feet have been dug into it for ages. It’s also very open around here, so at night
the wind really picks up and makes my hoop travel; taking it well beyond the
bridge and often over and into the sea beyond. Often I’m just trying to keep
hold of it in the gale. But one day I will make my move, and that fish will be
mine.
