Deshik drew cause I asked him to.
Because I introduced him to some new materials.
He entertained my suggestions and churned out a few new drawings.

As he drew this very detailed Boa Constrictor.
Then the questions started rolling in.
Questions like, “Is the rattler hollow like a music rattler?”
Like, “What is the oldest animal alive?” & “What is the youngest?”

He was fascinated with the still living, primitive fish the STURGEON.
It was only logical, to Deshik, that he BECOMES the STURGEON.
