Question

In a small village by the sea, an elderly fisherman named Takumi spent his days mending nets and telling stories to the village children. His tales were not just about fishing but also about distant lands and cultures he had read about in old, worn-out books. He spoke of places where the sun never set in summer, of vast deserts where travelers wandered for days without water, and of bustling cities filled with people from every corner of the earth. The children listened intently, their imaginations fueled by the diversity of experiences Takumi described. Through his stories, they began to see their small village as part of a much larger world, rich with different cultures, histories, and ideas. Takumi believed that understanding these diverse perspectives was like learning the secrets of the sea—essential for navigating life with wisdom and empathy.
