136 trillion years ago, a nameless prepubescent boy cheerfully skipped along the shore of a shimmering ocean. He stopped walking momentarily, kneeled down, extended his right hand and grabbed himself a handful of sand grains. He then stood up and cast aside all of the grains of sand in his right hand except for one. This single grain of sand remained in the palm of his right hand while he gazed at it.
After several moments had elapsed, various scenes began spontaneously manifesting in front of him. Countless atoms whirled at dizzying speeds. However, he focused his attention on only one of these atoms. Consequently, the atom in question appeared to expand in size. Numerous violently active stars occupied the space around the nucleus of this atom. The boy now shifted his attention to one of these stars.
A planet was observed orbiting this star. It was a planet encircled by two rings, one from its North Pole to its South Pole and the other around its equator. The boy gazed more and more intensely at this planet. A pink-coloured sky became visible. There were four helicopters in this sky and behind them was a floating creature resembling a colossal tortoise. However, this tortoise did not look the same as the tortoises of our world. Its body (including its shell) had a bluish hue and its tail was much longer than the tail of an average tortoise of our world.
The boy's vision had now been propelled downward. He began to see millions of spherical structures on the surface of this planet. These spherical structures came in a wide range of sizes and resembled igloos. Now the boy had shifted his attention to one of these spheres in the top right-hand corner of his field of vision. He could now view what was transpiring within this sphere.
There was a man seated on a chair which was glowing so brightly that the boy struggled to look at it directly. This man had red-coloured skin, abundant black hair on his head and sparkling blue eyes. In front of this man was a screen stuck on a wall. On this screen, a bald man who also had red-coloured skin and blue eyes was talking in a language composed of whistles and clicking sounds. The seated man responded to this threat with a melodic whistle. He then arose from his radiant seat and went through a hole behind him. The man had now emerged outdoors. In the pink sky far, far above his head were thousands of creatures which looked exactly like fishes (except that they were vastly larger in size). They came in every colour of the rainbow and even in colours which we cannot see through our regular eyesight.
Suddenly, everything started to fade away. The red-skinned man with black hair and blue eyes, the spherical structures, the flying fishes..... everything. All of these wondrous scenes had completely vanished from that young boy's vision. The boy now once again saw the shore he was walking on as well as the beautiful ocean it was connected to. He also noticed that the single grain of sand which was in the palm of his right hand was no longer there. The wind had taken it. The boy looked up at the clear blue sky and smiled because he was alive.
