One day David went to the beach. He played in the waves and collected shells. Then one day when he was collecting shells he found a conch shell. His father said, “it is a special shell.” When they came home David put his conch shell next to his bed. That night he stroked the shell and said, “please come out I won’t hurt you.” Then he heard a swish, swishing noise. Water poured out, filled up his room with water. It foamed up his legs. David’s tug boat bobbed in the water. David’s yellow rubber ducky floated in the water and his white and blue striped sea plane. David splashed in the water and laughed and laughed. David’s mum and dad said, “what are you up to?” Then David said, “there’s a sea in my bedroom.” ”A sea in his bedroom?” said his mother and father. Then his mother and father came into his room and saw David on the floor and his red tug, yellow rubber ducky. David’s mother and father came into his room. Then his father said, “would you like to go to sea?” ”Yes,” said David.
