Pegman – Revelations on Safari
Here is my story for What Pegman Saw. This week we’re going to Botswana. Tell you what, I must have looked at 100 photospheres before I found one that had animals in it. And you can barely see them.
My story has three people but it’s hopefully easy enough to work out who’s speaking.

Ohhhhh! Looks like someone has some explaining to do. In court. Wicked funny fun!
I can’t believe you had such a time finding animals. I found elephants and giraffes and lions. Oh shoot, there was a really funny elephant one too…. In any event, it didn’t hurt your story one bit!

I was going to end with him calling a divorce lawyer but that made it a bit messier. I’m glad you liked it!
I must have been looking in the wrong place for the animals.

Why are kids so honest? That’s just one thing. The other thing is how they connect the dots which adults don’t see coming right back at them.
Too bad. It seems the father will have a long way to go.
