Contribution POV

Hello, my name is A.J. Welcome my VIP. I guess you know my name, ha? It’s time for the VIP point-of-view lesson for this month’s ‘Contribution’ topic, so let’s do it. Let’s start with the present.

There is a fish. There’s a fish named Sally. Now Sally lives in Oklahoma City. She lives in Oklahoma City, but she doesn’t like Oklahoma City.

Why doesn’t she like Oklahoma City?

Well, because Oklahoma City is dry. It’s very, very dry.

And what is Sally?

Sally is a tuna fish.

Do tuna fish usually like dry weather?

Of course not, they’re fish. They like wet. They want to be in the water and Oklahoma City is dry, so Sally doesn’t like Oklahoma City.

So she decides she needs to go somewhere else and her parents they’re always telling her stories about the Pacific Ocean, the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is so great, because her parents are from the Pacific Ocean. They were born in the Pacific Ocean. Now, first, she goes to the Gulf of Mexico.

Why does she go to the Gulf of Mexico first?

Because it’s the closest large body of water to Oklahoma City, aha.

So, first, she goes to the Gulf of Mexico and she’s very happy. In fact, she’s ecstatic, super happy, to see all of that water, this incredible saltwater and it’s so huge. She’s so happy that she swims around and she plays and she has a great time and, in fact, she’s so happy that she decided to stay in the Gulf of Mexico for many years.

So she stays in the Gulf of Mexico. She lives in the Gulf of Mexico. She makes new friends in the Gulf of Mexico for several years. Until, one day, she remembers her dream and she thinks “I need to continue. I must continue and I must go to the Pacific Ocean, but first I must go through the Atlantic Ocean.” So finally she leaves the Gulf of Mexico and she goes to the Atlantic Ocean and oh, my God, it’s even bigger. It’s gigantic! It’s huge! She’s really happy now and she swims and she swims and she swims all around the Atlantic Ocean everywhere she can. She makes lots of new friends with other fish and she just loves the Atlantic Ocean. It’s amazing.

And, so, she stays in the Atlantic Ocean for many years. She stays there for many, many years, playing and having fun and enjoying the Atlantic Ocean, until one day, again, she remembers her dream to see the Pacific Ocean. And she decides that it’s time and so she swims south along the coast of South America and then she goes around the tip of South America and she reaches the Pacific Ocean and it’s super huge, gigantic, humungous. It’s amazing. It is so big, the biggest ocean in the world.

She swims to the north. She swims around. She visits Hawaii. She visits Fiji and she absolutely loves the Pacific Ocean and, in fact, she decides to stay in the Pacific Ocean and live there for the rest of her life. Sally the tuna fish is very happy.

And that’s the end of our first point-of-view story. Next, let’s just imagine all this happened, oh, I don’t know, 100 years ago.

One hundred years ago, there was a fish named Sally. Sally lived in Oklahoma City and Sally wanted to go to the Pacific Ocean. She wanted to go to the Pacific Ocean because her parents always told her about the Pacific Ocean. They always told her great stories about the Pacific Ocean.

And, so, Sally, one day, left her home in Oklahoma City. She left her home in Oklahoma City and first she went to the Gulf of Mexico. She went to the Gulf of Mexico and it was so big, so amazing. This huge body of saltwater and it was amazing. She loved it. She met lots of new fish. She swam, she played, she jumped and she decided to live in the Gulf of Mexico for several years.

And she did, she stayed in the Gulf of Mexico. She lived and played in the Gulf of Mexico, but then, one day, she remembered her dream and she decided that she needed to continue. And, so, she left the Gulf of Mexico and she went to the Atlantic Ocean and it was even bigger. It seemed so huge to her. And, so, she swam north along the coast of the United States and she swam over towards Europe and around towards Africa. She played and she swam and she enjoyed the Atlantic Ocean and she stayed in the Atlantic Ocean for many years and she loved it, but, one day, she remembered her big dream. She remembered that she wanted to see the Pacific Ocean, because the Pacific Ocean was and is the largest ocean in the world.

And, so, finally, she swam south. She swam south along the coast of South America and then she swam around the tip of South America and into the Pacific Ocean and it was super huge, gigantic, enormous, humungous, the biggest ocean in the world and Sally loved it. She loved it so much. She went to Hawaii, she went to Fiji and she decided to stay. She said “This is incredible. I’m going to stay in the Pacific Ocean for the rest of my life.” And she did, she lived the rest of her life in the Pacific Ocean and she was very, very happy.

Okay. That’s the end of our second point-of-view story. Let’s go into the future now. So let’s just imagine we’re dreaming this or something and it’s going to happen, I don’t know, 20 years in the future.

So, 20 years from now, there will be a fish named Sally and she’s gonna’ to be a tuna fish. She’ll be a tuna fish and she’ll live in Oklahoma City. At the time of this story, when this story happens, she will be living in Oklahoma City.

So at the time our story starts, she’ll be living in Oklahoma City, but she won’t be happy. She’ll be very unhappy. She’ll, in fact, hate Oklahoma City because, of course, Oklahoma City is a very, very dry place. It’s a very dry place and she’s gonna’ hate it because, of course, she’ll want to live in a very wet place like the ocean.

Well, of course, her parents are gonna’ tell her lots of stories about the Pacific Ocean and how great it is. And she’ll dream about the Pacific Ocean and then, one day, in the future, she’ll leave Oklahoma City. She’ll leave Oklahoma City and, first, she’ll go to the Gulf of Mexico. And when she gets to the Gulf of Mexico she’ll be amazed. She’ll say “Oh, wow! My God, it’s so big! This is great!” She’ll play and she’ll swim and she’s gonna’ make a lot of new friends with other fish and she’s gonna’ just have a great time. In fact, she’s gonna’ decide to stay in the Gulf of Mexico for several years. She’s gonna’ stay and live and play in the Gulf of Mexico for several years.

And all this is happening in the future, but then, later in the future, she’ll finally remember her dream and she’ll decide to leave the Gulf of Mexico and she’ll go into the Atlantic Ocean. And when she gets to the Atlantic Ocean she’ll be even more amazed. Whoa, it’s gonna’ seem so big to her, gigantic, humungous, and amazing. She’s going to be amazed. In fact, she’s gonna’ make a lot of new friends with other new fish in the Atlantic Ocean. She’s gonna’ swim all around the Atlantic Ocean. She’s gonna’ play and jump and have a great time and she’s gonna’ decide to stay and live in the Atlantic Ocean for several years more.

So she’ll live there for several years happily, until, one day, she remembers her big dream to see the Pacific Ocean and she’ll decide it’s time. And she’ll swim south along the coast of South America. She’ll go around the tip of South America and she’ll reach the Pacific Ocean and she’ll say “Wow! This place is super gigantic, humungous, enormous, amazing, wow!”

She’s going to be amazed. She’s going to be astounded because it’s so big, the biggest ocean in the world. And she’ll be so happy, she’ll swim to Hawaii and enjoy Hawaii and she’ll swim to Fiji and she’ll enjoy Fiji and she’ll be so happy that she will decide to live the rest of her life in the Pacific Ocean. And she will do exactly that and have a very happy life.

And that is the end of our point-of-view stories for this month. I hope you enjoyed them.
