The Binoculars and the Water Bottle
Love can happen at any time. It can be unexpected or love at first sight. This is what happened with a binocular and a water bottle. Both of them were owned by Mark, a traveler. Since Mark loves to travel, he always brings binoculars and water. They are essential to him. These two items are his prized possessions. The binoculars are black, smooth and matte colored. The binoculars have the capability to see far ten times better, almost 12 miles away. The water bottle is transparent with a design of happy face in the middle. The water bottle is always full of water or with whatever other liquid Mark adds. Mark always has the water bottle in his backpack that he uses to travel. Both the water bottle and binoculars are always near each other. Moreover, he has had both materials for more than three years of traveling, and both objects began to know each other more through time. The binoculars started noticing the water bottle more, and named her “Happy” because of the design in the bottle. He loved how she sounded whenever she swayed from left to right, and right to left. No matter the situation she was in, she always smiled. He liked how she changed colors. Sometimes, inside she was blue, maybe pink, or sometimes light green. Whenever Mark opened her, she smelled like fruits. All the small things he began to love about her, especially because he can see all her perfection. 62
