Me: 
What’s there? 

They: 
Cups. A lot of them, one after another, on a baggage carousel. 
Some contain snake and dragon. Some contain castle and olive leaf. 
But I cannot see the one that is glowing. 
It’s so bright that my eyes hurt when I look into it. 
Oh someone comes and pick up one of the cups. 
Oh, I can’t see anymore. 
It’s way too bright.

Me: 
Let me take a look. 
(stand closer to the dark tone drawing and look into it) 
Oh I see. 

They: Do you see the glowing cup 

Me: What glowing cup? 

They: That cup. 

Me: There is no glowing cup. 

They: What do you see then? 

Me: Water that is about to spill.
