Sven's Sunglasses

A Snake had found a pair of sunglasses online that he thought were really cool. He ordered them after some slight deliberation, because he always needed at least a slight deliberation before he made a decision, and with one click they were on the way.

"I can't wait to wear my new sunglasses." The Snake thought to himself. "It's going to be a great summer."

The Snake looked at the tracking information every day. He liked to imagine that his sunglasses were on holiday making stops in Memphis and Kernersville, and eventually would be out for delivery to him.

Unfortunately, there was a shipping delay in getting the sunglasses which made the Snake sad. He wanted to wear his sunglasses, show them off to his friends, look his best, and have a great summer. Any delay in having his sunglasses was time wasted. Especially since he had a big cookout coming up and he wanted to look the coolest he could possibly look.

"Should I try to describe my sunglasses to everyone?" the Snake wondered, "Maybe they would get the idea?"

The Snake thought about this idea for a while. He scribbled out some notes and descriptions of the sunglasses but ultimately decided that a description is no substitute for the visual of seeing the glasses. Curse the shipping delays!

Then the Snake had another idea. He went through his house and checked to see if he had some supplies:

String? Check.

Scissors? Check.

Ink? Full cartridges, just installed. Check.

The snake printed out a picture of the glasses he ordered and made his way to the cookout. He adjusted the strings around his head so that they were tight and also held the printout snug. He readjusted the printout glasses on his face and gave one last snip to make sure he could see out of the eyeholes he had cut out. "Here goes nothing," the Snake took a deep breath.

He cautiously approached his friends wearing his printed out sunglasses, nervous, excited, anxious. Was this stupid? This might be the stupidest idea he ever had. Oh no, I have to turn around right now this idea is so dumb.

The Badger saw the snake approaching. It was too late. He was going to be humiliated. This was the dumbest idea that --

"Wow cool style, Sven!" The Badger said, "Hey everyone come check out Sven's cool glasses!"

Sven, the snake, was so relieved he could have melted.

"Whoa, that's awesome!" Added the Fox.

"Thanks!" Sven replied, beaming, "They just don't have the sunglass part that blocks the sun!"

The snake got a few more compliments about his sunglasses throughout the night. It was nice to be recognized for your style he thought. It was exactly what he had hoped for when he ordered the glasses.

"You know the summer is going to be great when it's starting off this good!" Sven concluded. He went on to have a lovely evening enjoying the crisp, cool air amongst the company of friends.
