What separated us was a glass pane stretched from one end to another in that dark room.
I stood opposite what seemed to be like another world of their own.
As the secondhand on my watch went on moving, I stared at them in wonder.
"Dang! I wish I could swim like that!"
The first exclamation my conscious mind said.
Fascinating was one word I could describe the moment.
"Are they....really happy?"
A question came to mind next.
The scenes of an animation movie 'Happy Feet' suddenly flashing as if I had watched it recently.
I mean, one would have felt restricted to be kept in an enclosure..right?
But the thought that they'll be well-fed and cared for...
part of me hopes that that made them happy.
