Esie Adventure
Among the individuals that made up the school of whales, Esie appeared to be the happiest. It was the end of third term, and his mother had promised to take him out on a holiday sightseeing once they vacated from school.
The promise came about when Esie returned from school one day and was pestering his mother on the questions about the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. His teacher had told them about these Wonders, and all the pupils were carried away by the description of these structures. His joy knew no bound when his mother promised to take him to go and see them.
On the D-day, Ebie had already packed the necessary things he needed for the journey in his cute school bag. The night before, he had had little sleep as he was engrossed in the thought of the journey.
After dinner and just before midnight, they took off from the Pacific Ocean around America. They journeyed southwad to join the Atlantic at the southern part of Africa.
Esie was happy to be in Africa for the first time. Had it not been that his mother said their journey was still far off at that instance, he wanted to request they should spend a little more time in Africa because of the warm tropical climate.
At the tip of southern Africa, they swam as if they were going to Australia but, turned left and northward facing the Red Sea. Their first port of call was Egypt, to see the Great Pyramid at Gizar.
Esie was surprised to see such a huge structure which his mother said was more of a tomb for the Egyptian pharaohs than anything else.
After that, they went on to see the Hanging Gardens of Babylon which his mother said were destroyed by an earthquake.
The third ancient wonder was the Temple of Artemis which the mother told Esie was demolished by a mob.
The fourth, Statue of Zeus at Olympia which was gutted by fire appeared to be the most magnificent of all.
After visiting the last three, Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes and Lighthouse of Alexandria which all were destroyed by earthquakes at one time or the other, Esie had no doubt that these structures were not just masterpieces of architectural design but, truly wonderful in every sense. This is more so when one considered the age they were built.
QuoteFootnote: One might be wondering how Esie and his mother saw all the structures. This is because each of those structures, according to Whale Mother, cast a permanent shadow image inside the sea around the Mediterranean when they were constructed. Those images, though out of view from humans, are still there in the sea for the aquatic organisms to see.> Quote
