This beautiful story by a 9-year-old Varnika captures a lovely day at Pansy Beach that felt like a dream, with soft white sands. She talks about the view of sparkling blue water, and dancing of the colorful fish around the corals. She talks about spending the day sailing, swimming, and building sandcastles with her family, which made the day bloom like a beautiful flower. She talks about ending the day with a glowing sunset that filled her heart with Joy.
A Calm Day By The Ocean
Watching the waves from the shore looks fun and almost innocent as the waves gently splash on the beach.
We had gone sailing to Pansy Beach. A balmy breeze was blowing. There was a wonderful chicken-shaped island. I had never seen such a calm day in the ocean. We wore our swimming costumes and went sailing. The water was turquoise blue. It looked like a boat full of paint was spilled, and the beaches were as white as powdered sugar. I could also see the corals and the fishes going splash splash. Then we dived into the crystal clear water. I could see the corals, fishes, and starfishes from a close view. Some fishes sparkled like they had glitter glued on them; some were as colorful as the rainbows, and some were bright silver. I longed to touch a coral but remembered we should not disrupt aquatic life. We should preserve these precious resources! Then, I jumped into my boat, put on my dry clothes, and started sailing again. I could see nothing but the froth of water. Then I realized that a vast wave had made us wet. I saw some people surfing. I wanted to do it, but I wasn’t eligible. When we reached the shore, my sister and I picked seashells. We built a sandcastle and decorated it with shells. It looked like my dream castle.
Our family watched the sunset, and we had a whale of a time.
