An oxymoron is when 2 words that are next to each other in a sentence have contradictory meanings. An example of this would be "You are pretty ugly." The actual meaning of the sentence is that the person is ugly, but using pretty and ugly next to each other makes it an oxymoron.

Read the excerpt from "The Crab That Played with the Sea.”
lina2011 [118]

The conclusion about the Eldest Magician that this excerpt supports is that the Eldest Magician has a good sense of humor.

When the man said that he was to tired to paddle, the Eldest Magician joked about him being so lazy that his children will be too, and even went as far as to declare them "Malazy—the lazy people". However, in spite of joking about his laziness, he complied with the man's request to have the Sea work for him twice a day, therefore creating the tides.
