'I can see the shrimps!' Annie called out.
'Wonderful!' Cyril replied. 'Have they got any choccie biccies perchance?'
Annie briefly dipped her head back under the water before resurfacing again.
'Dark chocolate or dark chocolate or dark chocolate?' she asked.
'Hmm,' Cyril said and he thought for a moment, 'dark chocolate if they have them?'
And for a second time Annie went back below the waves before reemerging carrying an extra large tin of dark chocolate biscuits.
'Shrimptastic!' Cyril mooed.
Annie danced back up to the beach and gave the tin to Cyril.
'Are the fluffies here yet?' she enquired.
Cyril took a moment to look off down the beach.
'No,' he replied, 'not yet.'
'Is there time for a nap?' Annie asked.
And Cyril said he thought there was so Annie had a nap and Cyril amused himself by nibbling a few of the chocolate biscuits...and then a few more....and then all of the rest...and the tin.
By which time Annie had woken up.
'Oooooooh!' she exclaimed. 'I'm still here!'
'So you are!' Cyril replied and he had another look down the beach. 'And I think,' he continued, 'it might be time!'
'Oh goodie!' Annie said and she picked up her bucket and spade.
