"Look! The sea is blue!" said Amina, a young Omani girl, with bright eyes. She wore a beautiful dress and a big smile as she ran to the sandy beach. Her little brother, Zaid, laughed and followed her quickly. "Amina, wait for me!" he cried. They both loved the beach in Oman, where the sun always shone bright and colorful shells sparkled everywhere.
Amina and Zaid played in the soft sand, building a big sandcastle. "Let's make it tall!" Amina said, her hair blowing in the wind. Zaid cheered, "Yes! We can put a flag on top!" They found a stick and waved it high. They giggled as the waves came to tickle their feet, and they both splashed in the water, laughing with joy.
After building their sandcastle, Amina and Zaid spotted a tiny crab scuttling near them. "Look, Zaid! It's a little crab!" Amina pointed excitedly. Zaid clapped his hands and pretended to be a crab, moving sideways and giggling. The crab wiggled back to its home in a small hole, and the children waved goodbye, feeling happy to have made a new friend at the beach.
Suddenly, Amina had an idea. "Let's collect shells!" she exclaimed, grabbing a small bucket. Together, they wandered along the shore, picking up colorful shells to decorate their sandcastle. Zaid found a shiny pink one, and Amina discovered a swirly blue shell. "These are perfect!" they agreed, placing the shells carefully on their creation.
As the sun began to set, painting the sky with orange and pink, Amina and Zaid sat on their sandcastle, watching the sea. "This was the best day ever," Zaid said, leaning against his sister. Amina nodded and smiled, hugging him tight. "Yes, the best," she whispered. They watched the waves dance until it was time to go home, carrying memories of their magical beach day in their hearts.
