This photo pops up now and then when I search for pictures of watermelon and animals, so I\u2019ve decided to feature it here on the blog.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not really sure what\u2019s going on in this image. Why is the watermelon in the lake? Better yet, why is the cat in the lake? And why is he pawing at that watermelon like he\u2019s trying to roll it onto the shore?\u00a0 These are good questions, but I\u2019m afraid we\u2019ll probably never know the answers. In lieu of the real explanation, I\u2019ve decided to come up with my own story about the \u201cCat, Watermelon, Lake\u201d photo (as told from the photographer\u2019s point of view):<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a nice day, so we decided to go to the lake for a picnic and maybe hit the paddleboats. When we got there, we found a good spot and unpacked our lunches. I brought a watermelon because you can\u2019t have a picnic without watermelon, right? Just then, a cat ran between my legs, startling me and causing me to drop the watermelon. Before I could regain my composure, the watermelon had rolled down the shore and into the lake! I wasn\u2019t about to let that watermelon just float away, so I started to take off my shoes and roll up my pant legs. Just then, the cat reappeared. I guess he felt bad about causing me to drop the watermelon, because the little guy dove right into the lake and began pushing the watermelon back onto the shore! I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes, and I knew no one would buy the story, so I snapped a picture with my phone just as the cat was finishing his rescue. I decided to show my appreciation by giving the cat half of my tuna fish sandwich, but by the time I turned around, he had disappeared!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This photo pops up now and then when I search for pictures of watermelon and animals, so I\u2019ve decided to feature it here on the blog.
