Lily and Ben were playing in the sand. They had a spade, a bucket and some shells. They wanted to make a castle.
"Let's pretend we are the king and queen of the castle," said Lily. "You can dig the moat and I can decorate the walls."
"OK," said Ben. He took the spade and started to dig a hole around the bucket. He threw the sand out of the hole. Lily took the shells and stuck them on the bucket. She made a door and a window.
They were having fun until a big wave came and washed away their castle. The bucket and the spade were gone. The shells were scattered. The hole was filled with water.
"Oh no!" said Lily. "Our castle is gone!"
"Don't be sad," said Ben. "We can make another one. Or we can pretend we are pirates and look for treasure."
"OK," said Lily. She smiled and took Ben's hand. They ran along the shore and looked for shiny things. They found a coin, a bottle cap and a feather. They put them in an empty can.
"Look, we have treasure!" said Ben. "We are the best pirates ever!"
They hugged and laughed. They forgot about the castle. They were happy with their treasure.
