Drawing the World

A little boy once decided to draw the whole world. He started from the top and began drawing a big circle.

The pencil glided along in a curve, round the bottom, and back up again.

As the pencil was finishing its circumnavigation of the paper, the boy suddenly stopped.

The line did not match up to the starting point to form a proper shape.

"What shall I do, the whole world is incomplete, I cannot finish!"

In frustration, he drew a vertical line connecting the two mismatched ends.

The boy moved on. He proceeded to draw things in the world.

He drew llamas, and forests, tall skyscrapers, and rocket ships.

All the things in the world to adorn his picture.

As he was finishing drawing all the many things, he reached the mismatched ends again.

"Aha!" A few wavy strokes curving around the broken edge of the circle.

And with that, the boy finished the drawing with a perfect waterfall.
