Rock – as hard as bulletproof glass. As rough as sandpaper. As still as a mannequin.
The Sea, as fierce as a tiger baring its teeth. The Sea in a storm as frightening as a rearing horse. The sea as smooth as a pony cantering. The Sea, like the hills in the horizon.
A crab – as fierce as a bull, as camouflaged as a chameleon.
Eagle. As fast as a firebolt!
Rock. As sharp as a knife.
As snappy as a crab, as calm as a rock, as slippery as seaweed.
As green as a shell, as empty as a shell.
