The Lonely Coconut
Alan Jones
High in a palm tree on a faraway tropical island, a coconut begins his journey inside a dark husk, hearing only the sounds of seabirds, the swaying of the tree, and the lapping of the ocean, until a stormy night sends him tumbling to the sand and out to sea where his long-awaited adventure begins. As he floats across the waves, he remembers the fates of coconuts before him, knocked down at a fairground, hung up as a bird feeder, even plucked bald by nesting birds, and wonders what destiny awaits him. From escaping a native's attempts to crack him open, to drifting past sharks, sailboats, and endless sunsets, the lonely coconut grows weary, until finally he washes ashore and is transformed into the star of a carnival. Cheered, celebrated, and crowned in joy, he finds his purpose at last. The Lonely Coconut is a heartwarming tale of adventure, resilience, and unexpected glory.
