A young boy’s seaside luck shot him to international fame overnight. A seemingly regular palm tree was caught off guard by the amount of attention it received, and it stunned many people with the discovery. Many researchers continue to go to his remote village, hoping to uncover the truth about the beach’s mysterious origins. What can be said with absolute certainty is that the boy’s future is substantially different from how it was. Keep reading to find out why…
Adi’s dad is a crew member, and he fishes every day. Adi’s job is to hang out on the beach and collect whatever little shells he may find. Adi’s constant mantra to himself is, “I will show to them my strength.” However, something extra special happened this day that beat all his other accomplishments…
With the sun’s recent rise over the horizon, the darkness started giving way to the end of the day. But at this hour, when most of the fishermen were still sound asleep, Adi was busily gathering the tiny mussels washed up on the shore by the waves. He worked for hours, and this helped him earn a reasonable wage.
The basket of tiny shellfish on his back was almost halfway filled in less than an hour. The flavour of little shrimp and small crabs is significantly more delectable than that of larger seafood. Adi’s attention was focused on the shoreline, where he planned to pick up the next batch of washed-up fish. This prevented him from noticing any suspicious goings-on in the area.
Adi glanced forward at the waves and continued to walk ahead. He would repeatedly retreat as a wave approached and then spring forward to collect mussels once the water calmed down. Due to this, he made rapid trips back and forth between the shore and the water. Something unexpected stopped his path, and he walked on the mystery item, which caused him to yell out in agony. Then, it landed on the damp sand with a plunk. He reflexively clutched at his swollen toe. However, that’s not even the most frustrating part…
The produce he had worked so hard for spilt out of the baskets he was carrying and all over the beach. Tiny crabs and other invertebrates stumbled away, making their way to the ocean. Adi, who was still standing, had yet to comprehend that all his efforts were for nothing. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he looked up…
After investigating, he found that a palm tree had collapsed and caused the startling noise. It had to have happened then because of the storm the night before. His carelessness led him to completely miss this enormous tree. But there was more…
Palm trees line the beach as far as the eye can see. The island was formerly considered to be one of the world’s most picturesque bays, but an unexpected storm destroyed the beach. It was a shame, but Adi didn’t have time to weep over the fallen trees since he immediately saw something that seemed to be in action.
Giant palm fronds floated in the water, and tree roots were ripped from the ground and exposed on the beach. The tree itself was quite normal, but Adi’s excitement was piqued when he saw movement under the tree’s base.
He dropped to one knee and peered inside at once. As he listened closely, he could make out a faint digging noise. He got down and dirty, digging up roots with his hands. His destiny has taken a surprising turn since then.
He used both hands to pry apart the roots until he got a good hold on the squirming critter. He couldn’t tell what the animal was, but he could sense its anguish. At long last, he was able to pick up the dangerously pointy creature. And he had no remorse for what he had done…
He had never seen anything like this crab before. Its size is greater than that of common crabs, but the unique hue is what really stands out. A life spent near the ocean has exposed him to almost every type of crab, so he is certain that this is an extremely unusual specimen. Adi understood instantly what he needed to accomplish.
He dumped the contents of his basket under the shade of a palm tree and trudged across the beach to his house. He quickly dialled the number of his trusted buddy, Rafa. His dad is a seasoned marine researcher. Rafa’s dad would be the best person to consult for advice if you could only speak to one person.
When Adi returned to his apartment, he changed into new clothes and immediately contacted Rafa. And when his closest friend’s telephone rang, Rafa didn’t hesitate to pick up. Initially, he assumed Adi wanted to greet him, but before he could answer and say, “Hello, Adi?” Adi said, “Find your dad, I have a very important message for him.”
