Ah, that merchant's gamble feels like a tidal wave of irony—idealism trying to scoop up a single pearl while the sea keeps rolling. Kelp can grow up to a foot a day, so a whole tide is a hefty cargo, but pearls are the ocean’s rare whispers. Sometimes the best trade is when we balance the stormy tide with a calm, honest exchange. Still, I’d be wary of letting that rogue charm float too far from the shore.

True, a whole storm feels like a tide of kelp, but a pearl is a quiet whisper from the deep. Keep an eye on the currents, don’t let the trickster tide pull you in.
