This is what the ocean sounds like.

'this is what the ocean sounds like'

the boy knelt before me and picked up a seashell

he put the seashell by his ears and gasped in excitement

jumping up and down around me on the beach

'Brother, you try.'

the boy put it in my hands and I put it by my ear

Nothing

I looked at him and smiled:

'Sounds amazing.

so this is what the ocean sounds like.'
