SILLY SARA

 

 

            Silly Sara said so long..  She was sailing on the sea to see an alligator.  The gator's name was Sammy.  He sat on a small strip of sand at the edge of an island.

            Sara sailed her tiny ship to see Sammy the gator.  The sun was bright and shining.  The sea air was salty and splashed warm water in Sara's hair.  It stuck to her silly head.

 

            "Sammy," said Sara.  "Why are you sitting in the sand?"

 

            "Silly Sara," said Sammy, blinking his sad alligator eyes.  "I'm not sitting, I'm sunning."

 

            "Super!" said Sara.  "Can I sun too?"

 

            "Sure," smiled Sammy.  "But put on some sunblock first."

 

            Sara slathered sunblock on her skin and sat in the sand sunning with Sammy.

 

            "Should we build sand castles?" asked Sammy.

 

            "That sounds like fun," said Sara.

 

            So Sara and Sammy shoveled sand in a pile.  The stacked the walls high.  The set the turrets straight.  When they were done, Sammy and Sara sat back to admire their work.

 

            "The shining sun is making me sweat," said Sara.

 

            "Don't suffer," said Sammy.  "I have a solution.

 

            He slithered on the sand to the surf and slid into the cool water.

 

            "Come on Sara," said Sammy.

 

She swam out to him, but started to sink like a stone.

           

            "I can't swim," said Sara, spitting water out of her mouth.

           

            "Sit on me," said Sammy.

 

            Sara sat on Sammy's back.  He rode the surf back to the sand.

 

            "What should we do now?" asked Sara.

 

            Sammy smiled with sharp, shiny teeth.

 

            "I'll tell you a secret, silly Sara," said Sammy.  "I've never been sailing."

 

            "Do you want to sail on my ship?" Sara asked.

 

            "Sold," said Sammy.

 

            So Sara and Sammy went sailing on the serene sea under the shiny silent sun.
