Ezrah is a young superhero.
He wears a bright blue cape.
He has red boots and gloves.
He has a big smile.
He loves the ocean.
He loves the sand.
He loves the soft wind.
Every day Ezrah visits the sea.
He greets the waves.
The waves say hello.
He wades in the water.
He watches small fish.
He greets a crab.
He waves at a seagull.
The ocean is calm and kind.
Tiny fish swim in groups.
A crab taps a small shell.
But today Ezrah hears something new.
He hears a soft cry.
He stops and listens.
He bends down to look.
He parts some seaweed.
He lifts a shell.
Under the shell is a little starfish.
The starfish is red and quiet.
It wiggles gently.
It whispers, I am lost.
Ezrah feels kind.
He holds the starfish with care.
He says, Do not fear.
I will help you home.
Ezrah calls his friend Teddy Bear.
Teddy Bear is soft and wise.
He has brown fur.
He has a kind smile.
He loves warm hugs.
He loves to share.
He hears Ezrah call.
He runs across the sand.
He carries a warm hug in his arms.
Teddy Bear sees the starfish.
He pats the starfish gently.
He says, We will help you.
The starfish brightens.
It winks one arm.
It trusts his two friends.
Suddenly a loud Toy appears.
Toy is a wind-up toy.
He has small wheels.
He clacks with every step.
He laughs with a tin voice.
He grabs the starfish quickly.
He says, This starfish is mine.
Ezrah feels sad.
He takes a deep breath.
He says, I am brave.
I can try.
He holds up his cape.
He flies one meter.
He floats in air.
He lands on soft sand.
He stands with Teddy Bear.
They look at Toy.
Ezrah says, Please share with us.
Toy shrugs and shakes his head.
He winds himself up.
He runs behind a big rock.
He hides near a driftwood log.
He laughs again.
Ezrah is determined.
He says, We will not give up.
Teddy Bear says, Let us be kind.
Let us use our hearts.
They hold hands firmly.
They walk in a circle.
They call the fish and crab.
They call the seagull.
The fish swim in a line.
The crab taps a shell beat.
The seagull flaps wings.
Together they make a happy song.
They sing, Share and care.
They sing, Friends help friends.
Toy hears the song.
His wheels slow down.
He stops behind the rock.
He tilts his head.
He listens with one eye.
He feels the tune.
Toy steps out slowly.
He holds the starfish high.
He whispers, I am sorry.
I was wrong.
I will share now.
Ezrah smiles wide.
Teddy Bear cheers loud.
The starfish glows bright.
It shines orange and pink.
It hugs a small shell.
Ezrah and his friends guide the starfish home.
They walk by tide pools.
They hop over smooth rocks.
They splash in shallow water.
They follow a snail trail.
They climb a tiny sand dune.
At the top they see a calm pool.
The pool has clear water.
It has soft sand floor.
Sea plants wave gently.
The starfish hugs a flat rock.
It is home again.
They all clap and cheer.
Ezrah raises his arms.
Teddy Bear jumps up high.
Toy spins in circles.
The fish twirl in water.
The crab taps a happy beat.
The seagull sings a high note.
The sun begins to set.
The sky glows pink and gold.
Ezrah says, What a good day.
Teddy Bear says, We did it.
Toy says, I am happy too.
The starfish waves one arm.
They share a little picnic.
They eat soft crackers.
They sip fresh juice.
They share a small shell.
They laugh in the warm breeze.
Ezrah hugs his two friends.
He feels proud and full of joy.
He feels brave and kind.
He feels happy in his heart.
The sea whispers, Good night.
The waves sing a soft song.
Everyone listens.
They close their eyes.
They dream of new adventures.
