Peter Builds a Sand Castle

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Peter. He and his Daddy went to the beach to build a sand castle.

First they used a plastic cup to dig a moat, and then they piled up sand to make a wall. Then they used the plastic cup to make the towers. They piled up sand in the middle to make a big tower. They also made a gate and a bridge in the front.

It was hot, so Daddy went to a restaurant to get something to drink. When he came back, Peter was crying. He was upset because the big tower fell down and went kerplunk. Daddy said that it was okay because part of the fun was taking the castle apart.

First Peter crushed some of the towers on the wall. Then Daddy showed Peter how to use a plunger to squirt water at the sandcastle. Peter squirted water until it went straight through the gate and made a hole. It was fun building a sand castle, but it was even more fun tearing it down.
