Once upon a time, there was a bride who wanted to hide from her wedding. She ran as fast as she could and found a wide beach. She thought she would be safe there, but the tide was coming in and she couldn't decide which side to go to. Suddenly, she saw a man with a surfboard and asked for a ride. He said yes and they rode the waves together. Then they reached a slide and slid down into the water. The bride was so happy she decided to forget about her wedding and have fun at the beach instead. The end.

Reflections

• Why did the bride run away from her wedding?
• What happened when she reached the beach?
• Who did she meet on the beach?
• What did they do together?
• How did the story end?
• Would you run away from your wedding if you didn't want to get married? Why or why not?
