Original artwork description:

I found this birch bark head during a flood in the forest. It rocked rhythmically on the black water.
-Can I take you from here? - I asked.
- Take, if you're not joking! - the head responded and swam closer.
At home, the head began to give orders as if it were the mistress here. Wash, dry, strengthen.
“And now,” the head ordered, “Draw me a body!”
I put head on a piece of paper and drew body.
- What kind of bullshit is this?! - she screamed. - What did you depict here?
- Well... uh... - I was confused. - Noble sir, aristocrat of spirit.
“Hahaha,” I heard, “Let me do it myself!”
I turned away and left him my hand with the pencil. He grabbed onto it and hop, drawing a body with one line. I looked at what happened.
"My God!" - I thought and asked out loud:
- Now what?
- Now I need vision! Get eyes here!
I brought a beautiful blue eye and placed it right in the center of his forehead.
-What are you doing?! - he was indignant. - I’m not some kind of... simpleton! Give me three eyes, and normal ones, to match my complexion, so that they immediately notice that I’m looking at them.
I sighed and gave him three eyes.
-What else?
-Else a complete set: the starry sky, the internal law and the black hole inside. And don’t be sorry for the stars, put more, more. Even more!

Well, he's ready. And now do with he what you want! And if you happen to meet him in real life, remember, he is not at all simpleton. I warned you!
