“Fame is proof that people are gullible.” ―
When I first starting going on my bike rides in the morning and my walks in the evening, I kept noticing this beautiful duck in this little pond.
I noticed that he was always in the same spot and always alone. I felt sorry for him, as he seemed lonely.
Then, a few days into my walks, Michael decided to walk with me. I pointed out the duck to him.
He said: “It is fake”.
All of a sudden it made complete sense. I felt so dumb. Why didn’t I realize that before? It never moved. It looked so perfect.
Oh well! Now the question is: Why is there a fake duck in the pond?
