Maybe it really was a good thing he was sitting so close to the Lake in the first place. But people were fast and he was..... not. Before he knew it, there were a lot of people near the Lake and he had to manoeuvre around them in his own awkward little way. And the Lake made the air feel colder which only reminded him of the hot chocolate he wasn't having right now.
Sigh.
There were a lot of 'excuse me's and maybe some bumping - uh, don't tell his mum - but when some people moved away, he began his search. Properly! He needed a flat rock, yeah? He started shuffling around near the bank, picking up this rock and that rock and even that rock over there. He..... didn't really know how flat the rock should be - were some jagged edges or bumps okay? - and before he knew it, he'd collected a BUNCH of rocks. Some were flatter than others but they were all potentials for ones he could use.
His small arms were filling up more and more as he collected more and more rocks until he had more than he could fit into his arms. That should be enough, right? But he needed ONE so...... he started throwing some away. Mainly the small ones because they looked a bit TOO small to make a sundial from. And this rock could go too because it was too rough around the edges and he didn't like that. And this rock..... hmm. It wasn't bad but this other one was easier to carry and that was very important for someone like him so.....
Off you go.
Eventually, he was left with just the one rock, one that was very smooth and looked a little smaller than what he expected the Professor might want but it was probably fine. He was only small, after all.
Next up: sticks!
