"Angelo, hold it like this," said Emi. She showed her little brother how to hold the bucket the right way before turning it over in the sand. It made a perfect shape for a sandcastle.
Angelo tried to do just what she did, but he dumped out the bucket too far from the sand on the ground. Emi moved closer to him and gave him a big hug to make him feel better. "It's okay," she told her. He hugged her back and gave her a little smile. Nearby, their mummy and daddy were relaxing. Their daddy was making sure that the umbrella over their mummy wouldn't fall. So she could relax without the sun bothering her eyes. Her mummy's belly looked huge in her swimsuit, making Emi giggle. She wondered how much longer it would be before she got to meet her baby sister. It must be soon since her mummy's belly was so big. "Again," Angelo said, nudging Emi so she would show him again how to start building a good sandcastle. "Okay, watch carefully," she told him. She smiled. It was fun being a big sister.
