Gabby Catches a Wave

Crack… Crack…

Gabby, peeked through the crack in his egg. It looked light

outside. He could see the trails in the sand left by his brother’s and

sister’s. Gabby liked to be warm, so he had waited to knock on his

egg. The warmth comforted him. He wiggled his feet. They felt

cramped, so he stretched them out.

Crack… Crack…

First one foot poked through the egg, then the second one

followed. Gabby felt the soft sand beneath his feet.

Ah, it was warm….

Encouraged Gabby knocked on the side of his egg.

Crack… Crack…

Gabby blinked. He didn’t know being warm could be so bright.

The sun beat down on his shell as he wiggled his feet in the sand. It

was soft and warm. A yearning awoke deep inside him. The sea was

calling…

Splish… splash…

Gabby put his feet in one of the trails left by his brothers and

sisters. He pushed against the sand as he moved forward. Halfway

across the sand, he stopped to rest. Gabby was surprised. It was

exhausting to walk through the warm sand. A bird’s screech caught

his attention, and he looked up.

Gabby trembled…

The sea beckoned him. Somehow, he knew he would be safe in

the sea. Gabby didn’t know the warmth could take way the moisture.

The sand was hot on the bottom of his feet. He knew he needed to

hurry, but the sand was hot and hurt.

Gabby picked up his foot. How could warmth be so

uncomfortable? He ploughed through the sand to the beach one step

at a time. Finally, Gabby put one foot in the water.

Burr…

It was cold, but it soothed his hot foot. He let the cool water

wash over his feet and tummy.

He waited… and waited…

As a big wave approached, he shoved off the wet sand when the

wave crested. It spilled over him and swept him out to sea.

Gabby rode the wave to safety.
