The Perfect Sandcastle
The Perfect Sandcastle
A.P. Raj
Renee was making sandcastles on the beach with her friends, Divya and Morris. It
was fun to shape the wet sand with their hands, like dough. It was sunny outside
but not too bright. The ocean waves lapping at Renee’s feet felt nice.
As they played, Renee noticed something: none of their sandcastles looked like
castles. Renee’s sandcastles looked like upside-down ice cream cones. Divya’s
castles looked like wooden blocks, with little dents where she had shaped the
blocks with her fingers. And Morris made castles that looked like a lot of snowmen
huddled together.
“Divya, Morris,” Renee said. “None of our castles look like castles!”
Divya and Morris laughed.
“You’re right, Renee!” Morris said. “But so what? This is fun!”
“But wouldn’t it be more fun if we could make a sandcastle that actually looked
like a castle?” Renee said.
Divya said, “I know how we could do it! My dad is an architect. Before the builders
make a building, my dad draws it first.”
Morris said, “That gives me an idea.” He got up and kicked everybody’s castles into
the ocean.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Renee said, laughing.
“Don’t worry,” Morris said. “I’ll be right back!” He ran down the beach until he
found a stick, then came back and held it out. “Who wants to draw our castle?”
Renee and Divya smiled and looked at each other.“Divya, you’ve seen your dad do this— you should draw it!” Renee said.
“But it was your idea, Renee!” Divya said. “You draw it!”
“O.K.,” Renee said, and took the stick from Morris. She drew a square in the sand.
“That’s the main part of the castle.” She added a small rectangle at the bottom.
“And that’s the bridge that leads in, across the moat.”
“I can make those!” Divya said.
Renee drew four circles at the corners of the big square. “And these can be the
towers around the castle.”
“Those are called turrets,” Morris said. “I can make those!”
So Divya made a big cube of sand for the main part of the castle, and a small
rectangle for the bridge, and Morris made four turrets to go around the castle. It
took a couple of minutes. Then they all sat back and looked at what they had
made.“It looks a lot more like a castle than before,” Renee said, “But it still doesn’t look
quite right.” She looked at the smooth surfaces of the castle, the bridge and the
turrets, and tapped her chin with the stick. Then she drew a small door on the
front of the castle, and crisscrossed lines to make it look like it was made of bricks.
“This looks pretty good!” Divya said.
“Yeah!” Morris said. “We made a pretty nice castle.”
“Good work, everyone!” Renee said. Then she got up and kicked the castle into the
ocean.
“Renee, what are you doing?” Divya said.
“This is fun!” Renee said. “But why stop there? I bet we can make an even better
one!”
They all agreed with her. The sun was still shining, and there was a nice breeze
coming off of the ocean. Renee held out the stick.
“Who wants to draw the next one?” she asked.
