- Move to the scenic Norwegian coast.
- Save a jellyfish’s life by flipping him back in the water, then discover that he’s an enchanted jellyfish with powers of speech and moral reciprocity.
- Wait for a morning when the water is glassy and still.
- Call in the favor the enchanted jellyfish owes you by asking him to float in a perfect line with the opposite mountain and a buoy.
It’s that simple, really.
