LESSON 76 THE SEA-SHELL
THE SEA-SHELL
1. Joan and Ron went for a run along the beach.
They found a rosy shell.
2. "Mother says, that a shell can tell you tales of the sea, if you put it to your ear," said Joan.
3. "Oh, do let us sit on the sand and hear the story that this one tells," said Ron.
4. "I can hear the waves rolling in," said Joan, with the shell to her ear.
5. This is the story Joan said the shell told her.
6. "Once I lived at the bottom of the sea. I was the home of a tiny fish.
7. One day, as I moved along in the water, I bumped into a great big fish.
8. My little fish fell out of its home and I was left, just an empty shell.
9. Then I was washed up on the sand where you have just found me.
10. I do not like being left on the sand, for the waves will toss me over the rocks and smash me."
11. When Joan told this to Ron, he said, "Oh, we must not let that happen to the pretty shell."
12. "No, indeed," said Joan, "we shall take it home with us."
