Anyway, today I spent most of my time scouring the<br \/>\nbeaches of all the isles of Lok&#8217;Groton, in search of a Conch shell.<br \/>\nWhat is a Conch shell, yi say? Well, it is a large, pinkish shell, with<br \/>\na hollow inside. The Conch shell makes a haunting but gentle melody<br \/>\nwhen blown into, and can easily be turned into an instrument. I think<br \/>\nthat the eerie melodies of the Conch shell are perfectly suited for my<br \/>\nmusic, so I am searching in earnest for the elusive shell.
