knew what to do. There was nothing they could do. But soon someone read in an old book that only the apple people would have a solution to it. They would have the power to break the spell. But no one knew where such apple people would live. The guards of the king brought the news into the city, and asked if anyone knew where the apple people would live. An old woman told them that the apple people were locked up under the castle of the witch. The king sent some guards to the castle of the witch to get them out. After long searching they found the apple people living there in the underground. They were beautiful. But they lived there chained and in cages. Suddenly the witch showed up and struck the guards of the king by lightening. Some turned into stone, while others could run away. They went back to the king and told him how beautiful the apple people were. Again the king sent them back to the castle. But the guards of the witch had overguarded the castle now. They were all marching with their swords and spears, like knights, doing strange dances. It brought fear into the hearts of the guards of the king, but when they got back to the king, the king got very mad. ‘Get me the apple people, or we will all turn into stone too soon. We have not much time.’ Although the guards of the king were already of stone, they could still move, but everything got slower. The king was shouting, and soon they went back to the castle again, and waged a war against the watchers of the witch. One of them could enter the castle, and ran to the underground. He still knew the way. But soon the witch stood before him. ‘Please witch, have mercy on us,’ he wept. But the witch chained him also. Soon he was among the apple people, and had to do a lot of slavery. He realized that he was changing into an apple man himself. One day a friendly watcher of the witch set him free. He didn’t know why, but he just enjoyed and accepted his freedom. He ran back to the city, and to the king. They were all of stone now, but as soon as he touched them they could move. They became juicy again, but soon they were soft as water and started to stream towards the sea. It was like there was another curse on them. The apple man started to read in the books if he could find anything about that, and finally he read that only a golden apple would be able to break the spell. He took some goldpaint and painted himself. But nothing happened. The people were still melting, and becoming like the waves. The apple man decided to return to the castle of the witch. When she saw him she was shocked and screamed : ‘You have found the secret.’ The witch turned into a flame, and soon the castle was also melting, and the apple people became free, and many of the watchers of the witch. The sea however was growing bigger, so they all went towards the hill of the king where they would be safe. On this hill they built a boat, and the golden apple man became their king. Zie of je de sleutel kunt vinden, en in contact kunt komen met het jongetje op de toren. Hij trekt gekke bekken en zal niet met je meepraten, maar zal je mee willen nemen naar een andere wereld, een andere manier van denken en kijken. Alhoewel hij in de stad Rotterdam staat is hij dus NIET aards stads. Hij is sprookjesachtig en doet absurd. Hij is NIET gelijkvormig aan de stad. Hij is geen protser of "popie jopie", maar hij kan wel verschrikkelijk opscheppen (niet over aardse dingen dus). Het is geen materialist. Het jongetje op de toren functioneert als een buitenaardse wegwijzer. Op de Veluwe aan het Veluwemeer is ook zo'n mannetje. Dat is ook een wegwijzer, en ook een Orion installatie, voor op de Bible Belt van Nederland. Het is een mannetje met een cowboyhoed op. In de Veluwse dorpjes en stadjes zitten de mensen opgesloten in het orthodoxe christelijke geloof, en het mannetje probeert hen dan weg te lokken naar de bossen om vrij te komen, en naar het Veluwemeer om hen daar te brengen naar een schip genaamd "The High Tide", vertaald : de Vloedgolf. Dat schip gaat
