Once upon the soft sandy beach, there was a curious crab named Crabby.

Crabby scuttled sideways, admiring the shining sea and the warm sun.

One sunny day, Crabby found something strange: a big, colorful shoe!

He poked it, he prodded it, and with a big heave, he even tried wearing it.

But the shoe was too floppy and Crabby tripped over a seashell.

Feeling silly, he chuckled and decided the shoe was a perfect sandcastle decoration.

From then on, the shoe stood atop his castle, as a funny flag waving in the breeze.
