Serendipity
An Open Challenge using the Basic Editing I rules.

Description
The word 'serendipity', coined by Horace Walpole in 1754 to express his delight at a fortunate yet accidental discovery, is based on an old name for Sri Lanka (Serendip) and a local fairytale of three princes who "were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of....". Create an image that represents Serendipity.
