James and Jack play every day and night. One night, Jack saw a shadow and said, "It is a monster."
James got a flashlight and saw where the shadow came from. It was from a tree.
Jack said, "No way, I thought it was a monster."
"Did you know that there's such thing called shadow water?" said James.
Jack said, "Yes, but what is it?".
"The sunlight reflects in the water, and far away is where you see shadows from fish, sharks, dolphins, and whales," said James.
Jack asked, "Can we make shadows? How do we do that?".
James said, "Easy, here is an example of how you make a snail.
"You bend your right hand. keep the left hand straight while the middle, and index fingers are up".
Jack followed James's instructions and was happy that now he could make a shadow.
He now knows the monsters he thought he saw were not real.
