One summer day in the sunshine state of Florida a sailor named Bernard decided he wanted to take a day off of boating and enjoy some time on the land. He started the day with just relaxing on the beach reading one of his favorite books, enjoying a cup of coffee in his beach chair. He would occasionally step in the water to cool off because the palm trees did not provide much shade. After he lost interest of just sitting on the beach he decided to get up and do a little bit more of an active activity. He decided to go rollerblading on the boardwalk along the water. As he was rollerblading he noticed that there were two beach balls just lying on the ground with a note written on one of them. When he read the note he couldn’t believe his eyes. The note read, “Whoever finds this beach ball will receive a thousand dollars and needs to report to the bank with the ball to redeem your prize.” Bernard was so excited that he was the lucky person who found it and jumped with glee throwing the beach ball up in the air. When the beach ball went up in the air the wind took it and Bernard was never able to retrieve the ball. Bernard was so upset about it that he went back to his boat and sailed away and never returned to that beach again.
