Sara and Tom were playing with their toy boats in the harbor. They liked to watch the big boats come and go, and make noises like horns and engines. Sometimes they saw fish and birds in the water, too.
One day, they saw a new boat that was very big and shiny. It had a lot of flags and people on it. Sara and Tom wanted to see it closer, so they ran to the edge of the harbor. But they were not careful, and they dropped their toy boats on the ground.
"Oh no!" Sara cried. "Our boats are broken! They are fragile and the ground is hard!"
Tom was sad, too. He picked up his boat and saw a big crack in it. He tried to fix it, but it did not work. He looked at Sara's boat and saw that it was worse. It had lost its mast and its sail.
"Maybe we can ask the people on the big boat to help us," Tom said. "They have tools and glue and stuff."
Sara nodded. She liked Tom's idea. She saw a man on the big boat who was wearing a hat and a uniform. He looked like he was in charge. She waved her hand and called to him.
"Excuse me, sir! Can you help us, please? Our toy boats are broken and we don't know what to do!"
The man heard Sara's voice and looked down. He saw the two children and their toy boats. He smiled and walked to the side of the big boat. He leaned over and said:
"Hello, there! I'm sorry to hear that your toy boats are broken. They look very nice. What are their names?"
Sara and Tom told him their boat names. Sara's boat was called Lily and Tom's boat was called Max. The man nodded and said:
"Well, Lily and Max are very lucky to have you as their owners. You know what? I have some spare parts and some glue in my cabin. Why don't you come up and I'll see what I can do to fix them?"
Sara and Tom were very happy. They thanked the man and followed him to the big boat. He helped them climb up and took them to his cabin. There, he had a lot of things that looked like toys, but they were for real boats. He found some pieces that matched Lily and Max and glued them together. He also gave them some stickers and some paint to decorate them.
"There you go," he said. "Lily and Max are good as new. Maybe even better. They are very strong and beautiful now. You can take them back to the harbor and play with them again."
Sara and Tom were overjoyed. They hugged the man and thanked him again. They took their toy boats and ran back to the harbor. They put them in the water and watched them float and sail. They were very careful not to drop them or bump them. They knew they were fragile, but they also knew they were loved.
