The skepticism in the shopkeeper’s eyes was unmistakable. He shook his head, clearly thinking that Peter’s venture was more than just a bad idea – it was dangerous. And deep down, Peter knew he was right. Climbing an iceberg was no small feat; it was an undertaking full of unpredictable risks and hidden dangers.
Peter felt the weight of the store owner’s concern and just wanted to convey his unwavering resolve. “I have my reasons,” he said firmly, the determination clear in his eyes. “I’m going to tackle that iceberg, equipment or no equipment. But without the proper equipment, it’s going to be even more dangerous.” There was a quiet plea in his words, an appeal to the mind of the shopkeeper rather than recklessness.
