Sammy the sea snail stretched out his slimy stalk and wiggled his teeny, tiny tentacles.
The sun beamed down on the sandy shore, making Sammy's shell feel warm and cozy.
"What a glorious day for a glide!" Sammy said, his voice a bubbly whisper.
He peeked out from his shell, his eyes like tiny black beads, and looked around the beach.
A gentle breeze tickled Sammy's shell, whooshing past his ears like a whisper secret.
"Whee!" Sammy giggled, feeling the wind nudge him forward.
He glided along the sand, leaving a sparkly, silver trail behind him.
Suddenly, the wind picked up, turning into a playful gust!
"Whoa!" Sammy cried, holding tight to his shell as the wind whooshed him forward.
He zoomed past a grumpy-looking crab, who grumbled, "Slow down, you speedy snail!"
Sammy just giggled and shouted back, "Sorry, gotta fly!"
The wind pushed Sammy further down the beach, past seashells and starfish.
Finally, the wind settled down, gently placing Sammy beside a sparkling tide pool.
"What a ride!" Sammy exclaimed, catching his breath.
He dipped a tentacle into the cool water and giggled. What a breezy, beautiful day it was!
