Title: The Sandcastle by the SeaLevel: Beginner (A)

#Story :

Emma and Ben are at the beach on a sunny day. They decide to build a big sandcastle together. They use their buckets and shovels to make tall walls and towers. Emma and Ben are very proud of their sandcastle. Ben even adds a small stick as a flag on top. But soon, the waves start coming closer. They try to protect their sandcastle by building the walls higher, but a big wave crashes and destroys everything. Even though they feel sad for a moment, Ben tells Emma that they can build a new one tomorrow. They laugh, run into the water, and enjoy the rest of the day at the beach.
