Day 2, Cause and Effect

I hear the splash of something falling into the water. The sound comes from far away, echoing off the walls in the canyon. Some of the echoes are strange and surreal, alien sounding as the reverberate off different surfaces. I stand in awe of the differences between all the echoes. Almost forgetting what I am doing here. Soon I regain my composure and go looking for the source of this odd sound effect. Farther up the canyon than I had anticipated on going. I would ignore it but I am looking for something and this may prove to be helpful. Deeper into the crags and rocks I climb, how could such a noise travel so far. Soon I come across the source of this strange sound, a boy throwing pebbles into the deep waters of the river. He just stands there now, staring down at the ripples the pebble has made. I join him in looking, these ripples are different, odd in shape and don't make much sense. Instead of being bigger where the pebble was dropped they are smaller, and I soon realize this is what I am looking for.
