Leo is a little girl. She walks on the soft sand on a bright beach. She sees the water. The water is blue. The water is calm. Leo loves the beach. She feels the warm sand under her feet. The sun shines. A gentle wind blows. Leo smiles. She loves the sun. She loves the sand. She loves the sea. Her heart feels happy. Leo skips and hops. She looks for shells. She looks for a shiny shell.
Suddenly, Leo hears a soft voice. The voice says, "Hello." Leo stops. She looks around. She sees a small figure. It stands on a driftwood log. It glows with green light. Leo blinks. The figure smiles. The figure is a Tree Spirit. The Tree Spirit is gentle. It has leaves for hair. It has bark for skin. It has a tiny face. It has bright eyes. The Tree Spirit bows. Leo says, "Hello, Tree Spirit." The Tree Spirit nods. Leo feels safe.
Leo says, "Will you help me?" The Tree Spirit nods. Leo wants to find a special shell. A shell that sings. The shell is lost. It sings like the wind. It is shiny and white. Leo listens. She hears no song. The Tree Spirit listens too. They walk on the sand. They look near a tall rock. They look near a small pool. They look near a pile of seaweed. They look near soft dunes.
As they search, Leo sees a pirate hat. She stops. She looks. A small pirate peeks out. The pirate says, "Arr!" Leo jumps. The pirate is tiny and kind. He has a golden hat. He has a blue coat. He is a little sad. He holds his cheek. The pirate says, "I lost my special shell." Leo feels sad for him. The Tree Spirit tilts its head. Leo says, "We can look together."
They all walk by the water. The sun shines bright. They see waves. The waves make a soft song. It sounds like singing. Leo listens. The pirate listens. The Tree Spirit listens. Then Leo spies a shiny shell. It is big. It is white. It is smooth. It is warm. She picks it up. The shell sings. It sings like the wind. The pirate smiles. The pirate says, "That is my shell!" Leo says, "You found it!"
The pirate is happy. He bows to Leo and the Tree Spirit. He gives Leo a tiny shell. It is pink and pretty. The Tree Spirit glows. It gives Leo a small leaf. The leaf is green and soft. Leo thanks them. She holds the pink shell and the leaf. Leo feels happy. The sun goes down. The sky turns orange. Leo waves goodbye. She walks home in the sand. She says, "Good night." She smiles. She sleeps with her shells and leaf. Leo dreams of the beach at night with a smile. The end!!!
