Fred & Mavis excerpts
|
"Fred was a crab who spent his days cleaning his beach of seaweed that washed up from the sea.
He knew every inch of his immaculate beach. He even knew a seagull sometimes watched as he cleaned his beach. It was good to be aware of such things." ... |
... The beautiful seagull often cleaned her feathers from the mast of a nearby sailboat. She watched the crab bat the ball up the slope of the sand and clean the beach.
“How fun and satisfying that must be!” she thought, but she didn’t dare fly down. She was a shy bird... |
After trying for a long time and being tossed upside down repeatedly, Fred finally got the ball safely to the beach.
“That was exhausting! I think I will just go to sleep for the night and clean the beach tomorrow.” |
