LESSON 105

Mary and Lucy have come down to the beach with their grandpa. They live in a town near the sea.

Their grandpa likes to sit on the large rock, and watch the big ships as they sail far away on the blue sea. Sometimes he sits there all day long.

The little girls like to dig in the sand, and pick up pretty shells. They watch the waves as they roll up on the beach, and break into white foam.

They sometimes make little houses of sand, and build walls around them; and they dig wells with their small wooden spades.

They have been picking up shells for their little sister. She is too young to come to the beach.

I think all children like to play by the seaside when the sun is bright, and the wind does not blow too hard.

【中文阅读】

玛丽和露西跟随爷爷来到海滩。他们住在一个靠近海边的小镇上。

爷爷喜欢坐在大岩石上，望着那些大船在蔚蓝的海面上驶向远方。有时他会待上一整天。

小女孩们喜欢在沙子上挖洞，捡拾漂亮的贝壳。她们看着浪花翻卷到海滩上，泛起白色的泡沫。

有时，她们用沙子推小房子，在它们周围砌上墙，并用她们的小木铲挖一些小井。

她们为她们的小妹妹捡了一些贝壳。她们的妹妹还太小，来不了海滩。

我所有孩子们都喜欢在风和日丽的日子里来海边玩。
