Joe wanted to visit his friend at the beach. It was only a five minute drive away. But first he had to stop at the store and get ice cream. Joe really wanted some ice cream.
At the beach, Joe and his friend played tag and chased each other in the sand. Then Joe spotted a sand castle and he ran over to take a closer look. He was so excited! But then Joe slipped and hurt his finger. It was very hurt.
Joe's friend could tell he was in pain, so she hugged him. She asked Joe if he wanted the ice cream they had brought to the beach. It was just what he needed to feel better. They shared the ice cream and both felt better in no time. 
After that, they played games and laughed together until it was time to go home. Joe had a wonderful visit at the beach with his friend and he couldn’t wait to come back again next time.
