Zach and Cody’s Trip to the Beach
In Scotland, two brothers, Zach and Cody, are excited about their trip to the beach. However, their constant disagreements and Zach’s habit of lying make the journey difficult. They must learn the value of tolerance to have a fun day by the sea.
Zach and Cody were excited about their trip to the beach. Their family was driving from their home in Franklin, NC to the beach. Zach, who was 8, loved making up stories, even if they weren't always true. Cody, who was 6, often got annoyed with his brother’s tales. The trip began with high hopes, but soon, a problem arose.
As they drove, Zach started telling Cody that there were pirates at the beach. Cody got scared and didn't want to go anymore. Their parents tried to calm Cody down, but he was very upset. Zach realized he might have gone too far. The car ride was already starting to feel long and tense.
The first obstacle came when the car hit a traffic jam. They were stuck on the road, and Cody was still upset about the pirates. Zach felt bad and tried to cheer him up, but Cody didn't believe him anymore. Their mom suggested playing a game to pass the time. Zach and Cody reluctantly agreed.
They decided to play 'I Spy,' but Zach kept making up things that weren’t actually there. Cody got frustrated and refused to play anymore. Their dad suggested they listen to some music instead. The music helped a bit, but the tension was still there.
After the traffic jam, they stopped at a gas station. Zach promised to buy Cody an ice cream to make up for his lies. When they got their ice creams, Zach accidentally dropped his. Cody laughed, but Zach felt even worse. He didn't know how to make things right.
Back on the road, Zach tried to apologize again, but Cody was still mad. Zach started to feel like nothing he did could fix the situation. Their parents reminded them that they needed to get along to have fun at the beach. Zach was determined to make it right, but he didn’t know how.
As they got closer to the beach, Cody saw the ocean and started to get excited. Zach saw this as his chance to make things better. He suggested they build a giant sandcastle together. Cody hesitated but finally agreed. Zach hoped this would finally mend things between them.
When they arrived, Zach and Cody ran to the beach with their buckets and shovels. But as they began building, Cody knocked over part of the sandcastle by accident. Zach got angry and shouted at Cody. Cody felt hurt and started to cry. Zach felt like giving up.
Their dad came over and sat down with them. He explained that getting angry wouldn’t help them finish the sandcastle. He also reminded Zach that sometimes things go wrong, but they can still have fun. Zach realized he needed to be more patient and honest.
Zach took a deep breath and apologized to Cody again. They decided to start over and build the sandcastle together, taking turns and listening to each other’s ideas. This time, they worked as a team. By the end of the day, they had built the biggest sandcastle on the beach and felt proud of their accomplishment.
