The Problem

Oliver’s determination burned bright; he wouldn’t back down easily. The dream of a pond had lived in him for years, and he wasn’t about to let this obstacle shatter it. Instead, he decided to solve the problem and turn his muddy pit into the oasis he’d always dreamt.

Determined to get to the root of the problem, Oliver observed the pond day after day. But by this point, all of the water lilies and Koi fish were long gone—nothing was happening. However, what he was looking for wasn’t at the surface of the pond. It was deep in the muddy puddle.
