Once upon a time, there was a little crab named Carl who lived at the bottom of the sea. One day, he decided to go on an adventure and explore the beach. When he got there, he found a big castle made of sand. He climbed to the top and saw a huge container of ice cream. With a smile on his face, he started to lick the cream. Suddenly, a big fish appeared and asked what Carl was doing. Carl explained that he was just having a taste of the creamy treat. The fish told Carl that the ice cream belonged to the Sun King and it was forbidden for anyone to eat it. But, Carl was too curious and took another lick. Suddenly, the Sun King appeared and shouted, "Who's eating my ice cream?" Carl was terrified, but then the Sun King started to laugh. He said, "I've been looking for someone to share my ice cream with, and I think you'll do just fine!" So, Carl and the Sun King sat on the sandcastle and enjoyed their ice cream together, watching the waves roll in and out of the sea.
