"Little Girl, come help Papi!", Papi called the Little Girl, "We are going to the lake".
"Wow Papi, that is cool, I like going to the lake", said the Little Girl.
"Good, what do you want to put in your backpack ?", asked Papi.
"I don't want to take the backpack!", said the Little Girl.
"Papi as prepared my backpack with the things I want to have in the lake!", said Papi, "You do not want to have anything when you are at the lake?"
"I want to take rubber ducky!", said the Little Girl.
"So, maybe you want to put rubber ducky in the backpack", said Papi.
"Oh! Yes, OK! Let me take the backpack, I will put rubber ducky in it!"
"Anything else ? You want to swim ? Shall we take your swimming suit ?", asked Papi.
"Yes! I want the swimming suit!", said the Little Girl, "and also the sand pail and the sand shovel!".
"That is good, maybe we should take some water also ?", asked Papi.
"Yes, and a sandwich, I want to eat!", said the Little Girl, "and a whistle, if I want to call Papi I blow the whistle!".
"Good Little Girl, so now we know what we will need at the Lake, we can go safe and we have everything we want", said Papi.
"No Papi, we need a towel for when we come out of the lake!"
Do your kids like to play with the sand ? Do you take them to the beach, sandbox or playground ? Do they take the pail and shovel ? Do you make them use special clothing ? Do you help them with the constructions ? What do they like to build ? Or do they prefer to draw on the sand ? Do they build around the little animals ? Do they fetch leaves, branches or sea shells ? Or they bring some toys to play on the constructions ? Tell me your story, here is mine...
"More wet sand, this dry sand does not stand still." said the Little Girl to her soldiers.
"We cannot build a castle with this dry sand.", the Little Girl continued.
The soldiers started looking for some wet sand. They needed to dig a little more, perhaps the wet sand was under the dry sand. They searched everywhere in the playground's sandbox.
"We need more people to look for the wet sand.", said the Little Girl looking in the direction of the princess Beauty and prince Charming. Not a second more and the princess and prince were also looking for wet sand.
The Little Girl paused a bit to regain strength. She drank a bit of water, and she spilled some.
"Ah! Soldiers, spill your canteens on the sand, that will give you the needed wet sand.", instructed the Little Girl.
The soldiers brought the wet sand. The Little Girl used the shovel to place the sand in the pail and with each load the Little Girl made the castle towers. Now to build small walls between the towers and she had a beautiful square castle.
"Into the castle.", instructed the Little Girl. And all the soldiers took their place guarding the castle on the tower, walls and door. "You too.", said the Little Girl to the princess and prince.
The Little Girl dig a moat around the castle, "Now the castle is protected, to bad there are no crocodiles today to put in the moat, they must be after the pirate captain"
