Lila and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes. They also liked to splash in the water and look for shells. Sometimes they saw big boats and planes in the sky.
One day, they saw a big boat with a flag. It was red and white and blue. They heard a loud noise. It was a horn. The boat was saying hello. Lila and Ben wanted to say hello back. They looked for something to wave.
Lila found a towel. It was pink and soft. She held it up and waved it. Ben found a fake. It was a plastic snake. He thought it was funny. He held it up and waved it. The boat saw them and waved back. Lila and Ben were happy. They laughed and clapped.
They kept waving until the boat was far away. Then they went back to playing on the beach. They had a lot of fun. They liked to wave to boats and planes. They liked to use towels and fakes. They liked to be friends.
