The Skipper was on his way back from a night visit to the jungle when he stumbled across the Professor. He sat in the light of a torch, surrounded by patches of wet sand.

"What are you up to?"

The Professor waffled. "You're going to think it's foolish." When the Skipper kept listening, he continued. "I'm experimenting with the sand to see if we can build a sandman instead of a snowman."

"For Gilligan? Do you think it's possible?"

"Why not? It's easy enough to build sand castles."

Without a word, the Skipper knelt down and began to help him.
