Update
This prompt reminded me of a fable I wrote way back when I first started the project. I composed it in my head, bit by bit, mile by mile, as a way to keep myself awake as I was driving at night. It's the story of two boys. You'll recognize the theme.
There once was a boy who lived by the sea.
He was a happy boy—and why wouldn’t he be? He had nothing to do but play and explore. When he was hungry he ate the coconuts in the trees; when he was thirsty he drank the rain; when he was restless he walked up the shore, turning over shells that were ancient and colorful and so big he could nap inside them. He had everything he could ever want.
Or so he thought.

One day he got talking with a seagull. “Tell me something wise,” the seagull said.
