The Boy on the Beach
Bartholomew, a lonely ghost on a Northern California beach, meets a living girl named Margaret. Together, they face challenges and learn about courage and friendship.
Bartholomew was a lonely ghost on a beach in Northern California. He wore a swimsuit and floatys, wishing for a friend. One sunny day, he saw a little girl named Margaret building a sandcastle. Margaret could see Bartholomew, and she smiled at him. But Bartholomew was too shy to say hello.
Bartholomew wanted to play with Margaret, but he was scared. 'What if she doesn't like me?' he thought. Every time he tried to speak, he felt like disappearing. Margaret saw Bartholomew hiding behind a rock and waved. He took a deep breath and floated closer.
Margaret asked, - Do you want to help me with my sandcastle? Bartholomew nodded and started to help. But when he tried to add a shell, it slipped through his ghostly hands. 'Oh no,' he said, feeling sad. Margaret smiled and said, - It's okay, let's try again together.
Bartholomew tried again, but the shell kept slipping. He felt like giving up. - I can't do it, he said. Margaret put her hand on his shoulder. - Don't worry, we'll figure it out, she said kindly. Bartholomew floated away, feeling frustrated.
Suddenly, Bartholomew had an idea. - What if I use my floatys to hold the shell? he thought. He floated back to Margaret. - I have an idea, he said. With Margaret's help, Bartholomew used his floatys to place the shell on the sandcastle. It worked!
Bartholomew and Margaret finished the sandcastle together. - We did it! Margaret cheered. Bartholomew felt happy and proud. He realized that with courage and a friend, he could do anything. From that day on, they were best friends, ready for any adventure.
