Read together

Once upon a time, there was a crab named Creggy who lived by the sea. One day, he decided to build the biggest sandcastle ever seen on the beach. He worked tirelessly, gathering shells and making sure every detail was perfect.

Just as he finished, a boat pulled up and a group of kids jumped out, each with an ice lolly in hand. They were so excited to explore the beach and build sandcastles of their own.

Creggy was worried they would ruin his masterpiece, but instead, they invited him to join in on the fun. They even offered him an ice lolly!

As they built sandcastles together, the sun began to beat down and the kids started to get sunburned. Creggy, being a clever crab, suggested they put on sunscreen to protect their skin.

The kids had so much fun building sandcastles and playing in the sea with Creggy that they didn't even notice the time passing by. When it was finally time to go, they all hugged Creggy goodbye and promised to come back and visit him soon.

Creggy was left with the best memories of his life and a new group of friends he could always count on. From that day on, he was known as the "Sandcastle King" and everyone wanted to be his friend.
