At The Beach
The beach was one of the best places in the world. I love the sound of waves crashing against the shore. I love splashing and playing in the dancing waves. My family goes to the beach once in a month. My mother would pack sandwiches and towels into the car and my father would drive the family down to the beach.
My brother and I were wading in the water looking for fishes to catch. My father bought new fishing nets and we were thrilled to use it. However, all the little fishes were too fast for us, darting through the water before we scoop them up!We managed to catch a mudskipper and crabs hiding by the rocks.
Suddenly , I saw some red creature hiding behind the rock. I peered in to get a closer look. To my astonishment, it was an octopus!My heart was pounding. I struck my net and caught the octopus.I did not want to miss that prized catch. So we placed it in the pail and watched it swim around.
We were observing it for an hour. Since we know that octopus could survive only in salt water, it is impossible to keep it in aquarium. With heavy heart the time came to release the octopus into the sea.
That was certainly an experience I would never forget.
