Sandcastles
On a hot summer afternoon, Hudson, Courtney, Emma, and Billy headed to Carolina beach to spend a relaxing day at the shore. The beach swarmed with people who were leisurely enjoying the beautiful view of the sea.
The four friends swam near the shore in the green-hued water. Then, they played a beach volley-ball for some time, but they were soon tired and decided to relax for a while.
Courtney, who was too bored to relax, decided to go for a stroll, and on her way, she spotted several kids building sandcastles. The sight of the perfectly crafted sandcastles filled her with excitement and zeal. She was overjoyed with the idea of ornamenting her own sandcastle with conch shells, and she could not wait to begin. She rushed to her friends and convinced them to join her in building a sandcastle.
Billy was not too keen on building a sandcastle because he did not want to do something so messy and get his hands dirty.
Besides, it is so hot. Why should we sit under the blazing sun and play with sand, he thought. However, he did not want to disappoint Courtney and the others. So, he dragged himself and helped Courtney gather sand in a bucket.
Hudson looked at Billy's face and understood how he felt.
"Give it a shot, Billy. It won't be so bad," Hudson told Billy and tried to comfort him. Hudson, on the other hand, was totally at ease. After all, building sandcastles with his sister was his favorite pastime, and he proudly demonstrated his sand carving skills to Billy.
Emma had never made sandcastles before, but she was eager to learn. She followed Courtney's instructions and sculpted arches and windows in the stacks of sand effortlessly.
When their sandcastle was ready, the four friends could not help but admire its beauty and perfection.
"This isn't so bad," Billy told Hudson with a smile.
Billy, Hudson, and Emma thanked Courtney for her suggestion and promised they would do this more often.
