Anna and Ben like to play on the beach. They run and jump and make sand castles. They also look for shells. Shells are pretty and shiny and have different shapes and colors.
One day, Anna finds a big shell. It is white and pink and has a spiral. She is very happy and shows it to Ben. Ben likes the shell too. He wants to take it and play with it. He says, "Can I have the shell, Anna? Please?"
Anna thinks for a moment. She loves the shell, but she also loves Ben. She says, "OK, Ben. You can have the shell. But you have to be careful. The shell is fragile and precious. Don't break it or lose it."
Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. I will be careful. I promise." He takes the shell and holds it gently. He feels the smooth and bumpy surface. He puts it to his ear and listens. He hears a soft sound, like the sea.
Anna and Ben play with the shell. They pretend it is a boat, a hat, a horn, and a treasure. They have a lot of fun. They also share the shell with their friends. They show them how graceful and beautiful it is. They all admire the shell and say, "Wow!"
