Molly ran into the waves but lost her ball.
Then waves ran up the beach and found CJ

They filled his gumboots with water on the way in,
And on the way out they knocked him over so he sat on his bum.
He sat and screamed while the adults giggled at his plight.

Poor CJ – just as well it was a shallow beach and a beautiful warm day – but we needed a quick trip home for dry clothes ………….. with  chocolate bribery and smiles on the way 🙂
