Rosie was still admiring her pretty new bracelet. It was her most special-est treasure ever now! A thought occurred to her and she frowned slightly...Rain didn't his own special-est treasure though! Well she was the girl to fix that!
Leaving her Mommy's embrace she scurried over the sand, head down looking for something. She didn't know what, but she knew somehow that she'd find something special. She kept wandering ever closer to the taste, scrunching up her nose at the feel of the now wet sand sinking in between her toes. She rather liked it but there was no time to play now, she had work to do!
The toddler almost stepped on it before she saw it, half buried in the sand. Her eyes growing big at her discovery she clapped happily before bending over at picking it up, brushing the excess sand away. A shell! It was beautiful, scalloped shaped, with stripes of chocolate brown layered over creamy vanilla on one side, while the other had a purplish tinge that blended together with a light shade of blue-green. She liked this side the best, it was the prettiest. Holding her discovery carefully she raced back to the adults, rushing up to Rain's side as she held the little shell out. "Rain Rain! For you! Tweasur!"

Sally let the girl scramble out of her land, watching in wonder as the toddler did who knew what. But she had wandered too far away. "Rosie" she called "Come back here now! Not so far away!" She started to rise to go fetch the girl when Rosie started to come back to them herself.
